IOW, they did not get the answer they were looking for so they need more money.

I agree, one minute drinking coffee is bad. Then next week they discover some chemical is good for preventing something or other.
The same with red wine. They say it is good for one thing and then later another study says it has not been proven.

Then the general conclusion it always seems is "if used in moderation".......well I suppose that applies to almost everything and it costs millions of dollars to generate this finding!!!

And where does all the $ come from to find out all of this, usually Joe/ Josephine Taxpayer.

Just my thoughts on studies. Nothing with scholarly evidence!!! :thumbsup:
