[QUOTE="ChrisSamsDad, post: 1184676, member: 13978"] I've seen it before and it's been heavily and widely criticised for implying correlation = causation and bad mistakes in its statistical analysis. The pre-amble should be enough to convince you that it's an opinion piece rather than a true study, and on top of that, it's not in a reputable journal, which is open-access, not peer-reviewed and not listed in PubMed. This is known as cargo-cult science - you dress up your fake or flawed study with the trappings of proper science and hope people mistake it for the real thing.
