Lumped


But some quarters of the medical research community are deeply sceptical about the usefulness of so-called complementary therapies - the category of treatment in which fish oil supplements are often lumped.
Can somebody explain the meaning of lumped used here?

Hi, If A, B, C and D are lumped togethe r, it means they are treated as a single group with no attempt to consider their separate differences. The broad meaning is that some parts of the medical research community consider all fish oil supplements the same. The implication is that they are all seen as having no value.
