If you could provide more info I'd be very interested in reading it. Having a background in research I'm very dubious of the latest and greatest findings and results. After all, research has "proven" that pipe smokers live longer than individuals who don't smoke and for decades Dr Spock was an authority on child development due to his research on the subject yet even he eventually had to admit that he was wrong.
