Given my small bit of expertise in integrating research (see http://www.lyonsmorris.com/MetaA/index.htm, my pages on meta-analysis) I'm not so sure about the validity ofthis study. It runs against most of what has been found in very solid research. There is no indication of how the analysis is done, did it use an accepted meta-analytic procedure or some vote counting methodology or worse some impressionistic and biased review method. Moreover, given who did it, I would be very suspect of the conclusions found in this study, given the biases that may be evident. Interestingly enough I could not find the any links to the data. So what can you say about that research, except corporate propaganda?
