If you want studies you can trust, carry them on yourself. That's what I've done. I take from experience. Why would I believe some corporate shill over my own experience?

So you dont trust science and research? Seems like its led to some pretty cool discoveries over the past few hundred years or so.
To say that all research is performed simply to fulfill someone else's corporate agenda seems a little tin-hatish, no?

But when people make baseless claims, that leads to misinformation. If anyone could just say whatever they wanted, and no one would be able to determine fact from fiction.

then why mention it at all if its not a reliable measure?

What if myself and numerous others have tried these methods and found them to be less than optimal? What if research has also found these methods to be bunk?
