A large review of health data from more than 130,000 adults with insomnia found that people who took melatonin for a year or longer were more likely to develop heart failure, be hospitalized for the condition, or die from any cause compared to those who didn't take the supplement.

Once again a correlation is immediately turned into some bombastic conclusion for clickbait headlines.

Surely you don't think the insomnia could have anything to do with it?

This was published last week, before the meeting. If you don’t read the whole article at least read the very last paragraph:

Note: The study featured in this article is a research abstract. Abstracts presented at American Heart Association's scientific meetings are not peer-re-viewed, and the findings are considered preliminary until published as full manuscripts in a peer-re-viewed scientific journal.
