Thanks, Chrisy!

So, the studies were inconclusive because the evidence was inconclusive, or because there's just not been the "real people" studies to prove it one way or another? This drives me nuts. Kajillions of dollars spent to try to prove expensive drugs, but we can't get our act together to show what nutrients will help and which will hurt for certain.
