While this article cites many published studies, it was not published in a peer reviewed journal. Which means that it was not read and critiqued by qualified peers. Peer-Review is an essential part of the scientific process. I don't even get what the purpose of this web site that is linked is, but are we even sure of this websites credentials? I could put up a story on my website about how eating **** is good for your health, would you guys believe it? If you start clicking on the individually linked studies you start seeing less and less support for the main theses of this article. Who even read all this information and put it together? Do they know statistics at all? There is no author? This is fishy in the scientific world, until this article gets published in a journal like JAMA, then it's really not anything!
