Boron, like me, you've been trained to think critically. You know all
too well that you will never get a reference to a valid study.
One sees this all the time in the quack mags in "health food" stores.
Articles praising some extract, homeopathy or acupuncture are replete
with the phrase: "Studies show that...." but the references, if given,
are to articles in other quack mags.
