Hi Mike,
Don't get me wrong. I think your thoughts are provocative and certainly very interesting. You are well read. Personally, I am still, somewhat working, and researching Medline articles all day long for what I do, just not in this realm. My interests lies elsewhere, although now that I am dealing with this awful condition, maybe I should change my focus! But research methodology is what it is, an inexact science because of the inexact input that it relies upon. It is referred to as "junk science."
After immersing myself into the research literature for the last 15 years, I have found that one, on either side of any issue, can recite any number of articles to facilitate ones perspective! I guess my best advice is to not agree with any one or even ten articles, rather look for a meta-analysis that evaluates and opines on the balance of many findings as opposed to the input of any one source. But that is not to negate that one source!
