Nobel Winner Retracts Research Paper

It is a Nobel prize, not a noble prize.
"A team of scientists including Linda B. Buck, who shared the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, has retracted a scientific paper after the scientists could not reproduce their original findings.

The Harvard Medical School, where the researchers worked when the findings were published in the journal Nature in 2001, has begun a review of the research to determine if there is any evidence of misconduct."

Several things.

This is more crap from Harvard, a member of the nutritional homicide group, IMHO.

It really ought to get you thinking in terms of what has withstood the test of time when you deal with "science."

This is precisely why I rely on The Three Principles of Fitness (tm) and nothing else.

The rest is speculation and, until proven over time, is "truth with a short shelf life."

It is your life that is at stake each time you rely on the voodoo du jour.

It is also the lives of your children and those about whom you care.

Do yourself a real favor and shut out the noise, accept what works and concentrate on that.
