   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 ...
