Abstract
An earlier claim about the smallness of three-body effects in nuclear matter is examined in the light of a criticism. Our conclusion is that, whereas the lowest-order three-body effect is small, second-order effects are larger, with the net result of ≈ 2.5 MeV per particle additional binding at the saturation density. Although these results depend on the way one extrapolates off the pion mass shell, different ways which seem to us to be reasonable give roughly the same result.
