You are deluding yourself. Who were the researchers, how was this
determined, where are their research papers and, especially, why is this

eat one. :-) Dr. Ignarro *is* a research scientist. He not only
should know better but does. I think you do too.
Try this on for size. <http://www.ravnskov.nu/myth3.htm> And please
note that it has actual research papers referenced to back up the data.
