I can't find the abstract but anyone have any info as to whether this is anywhere near legit or if it's total junk?
It reads like total junk but need to be sure what to defend ourselves with.

here's the abstract http://www.fasebj.org/content/29/1_Supplement/LB631.abstract?sid=ef94de5d-10eb-491c-baa8-bd4f958e74ee
I'm pretty sure this was discussed when it came out, but I can't seem to find it. Something about exposing cells in a dish not being an actual indicator.

Anytime you see a piece that say

xgvdfsf "could cause" jsdasjdej

that's just a propaganda / advertisement piece.

You can say anything "could cause" just about anything and get away with it.

Yeah, and 'maybe' means exactly the same as 'maybe not'.

I could win the lottery too.
