I appreciate that nobody owes me a response, which is why I was willing to back off - until I heard the podcast. I am willing to agree that my personal experiences, and yours, don't bear on the science, so lets just look at the science. My main point is and always has been that you have made a claim on this topic based on a scientific report which

Having listened to podcast 883 today, I have this to say to Stefan: I feel as though I have been diminished and dismissed in this thread.
