Objectives To determine whether falling in love results in trauma, romance, marriage, pregnancy, or long life.

Design Systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

Data sources
 Medline, Pubmed, and the Cochrane Library databases.

Study selection
 Randomized controlled trials showing the free fall effects of falling in love.

Main outcome measures
 If falling in love is a form of gravitational challenge: Death or major trauma, defined as Glasgow Coma Score of 3. If falling in love results in romance, marriage, pregnancy or long life: Romance, marriage, pregnancy or long life.

Results 
We were unable to find randomized controlled trials of gravitational challenge posed by falling in love or that of resulting in romance, marriage, pregnancy or long life. (BTW, is it rise in love instead of fall in love?)

Conclusions and Recommendations
 As with many methods proposed to make life long and worthwhile, falling in love and the efficacy of its use has never been subject to rigorous testing by way of randomized controlled clinical trials. Supporters of evidence-based effects of falling in love have disapproved of the use of studies using only descriptive observational phenomena.

We suggest that everyone participates in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover trial of falling in love.

Haay. In other words, ganito ang binoblog ng mga taong --you know. Hahaha.

Belated Happy Valentine's Day!
