Your quote doesn't say "needs more study"
It says there is a public health danger and that we do need a stronger message to teens especially.

That was my inference from the whole article.
1) It's the egg for some people.
2) It's the chicken for some people. Conclusion: We don't really know exactly how or why this works. We should study it more. YMMV. |

I've seen that in far too many health studies
There was another one on the news recently about fecal bacteriotherapy -- http://en.wikipedia....l_bacteriotherapy. It's cheap, simple, and works. So of course various teams are trying to isolate something from it that they can create in (patentable) pill form.
Here's the thing: We don't really know exactly how or why this works. Let me fix that for you:

Nice try.
The article doesn't say "it works." It says "it works sometimes and sometimes it makes things worse." To me, that means the question as to whether or not "it's good" is left open to further inquiry. (Again, YMMV).
BTW, I'm not unsympathetic to arguments against allopathic medicine's reductionist approach to research. But that's not the topic of this thread. |
