I went looking. Okay, looks like NIH (national institutes of health). But what I was told was garbage, so I found it hard to believe NIH actually published the garbage. Looked a little further. Thousands upon thousands of articles in their data base, and they do not swear to the validity of them. So junk can be published, and look legit because it is on the NIH website, but nobody there may have even seen it.
