Well stated.

Most studies now a days are pay for results. When you
read them, you go to the funding source first.

I remember a while back when a study showed an increased
survival rate for bypass patients when using foliates
and B vitamins. Then a year or so later, another study
came out that debunked it. Upon peer review of the second
study, it transpired that they used 1/20th the effective
dose of B vitamins. Hmmmmmm ...
