Here’s the video I mentioned on preventing gallstones in the first place: Cholesterol Gallstones (nutritionfacts.org/video/cholesterol-gallstones/). The “p value” I mention in the video refers to a measure of the strength of evidence. The smaller it is, the stronger the evidence is that the result they found didn’t just happen by chance. By convention, a p value under 0.05 is considered small enough for a result to be considered statistically significant. This means that you’d only expect to find a result that remarkable simply by coincidence 5% of the time, or in 1 out of 20 cases. So, a p value like the one in the study, less than .000, suggests you’d have to run the experiment thousands of times before you’d come up with such a dramatic result just by chance.
