There is a research professor at the University of Birmingham, England, (D.B.

HIs lab has published a lot of articles on 'a class of ecogenetic diseases of auto intoxication, and predict that chronic poisoning by transformed chemicals may be a common mechanism for conditions linked with ageing. Primary prevention my include dietary manipulation, reducing availability of the methyl donor (SAM-e)...'.
I'm not a scientist, and i'm not giving advice to take or not take it, but do some homework first and be careful.
