Fed: Questionable science behind snoring products: Choice

A new study says many snoring treatment products such as nasal strips and special pillows
lack scientific proof they work.

An investigation by Choice magazine has found limited scientific evidence to support
claims made by manufacturers of popular anti-snoring products.

The research found nasal strips and dilators might help only a small number of people
.. whose snoring is caused by certain types of nasal obstruction.

But Choice says there's no good evidence to support the claims for two special pillows
examined .. and a specialist told the magazine the trials of aromatherapy products like
essential oils are unreliable.
