You don't think there is connection between these organizations and drug companies? I'm sure everything is connected to everything else, as Dirk Gently taught me so many years ago. If we go by "connection" we can eliminate every research ever done. However, the research was not funded by said compa...

Her BMR is 1400-1500 cal/day. Oscar asked to lock the thread, so I will say no more. Thanks for your time, I enjoyed the discussion.
