This a great series of articles. I read all of this info top to bottom and learned  quite a bit. The one thing i did notice was the dates of the referenced articles and studies. Some date back to the 80's and early 90's. Much has happened since that time frame. The most recently quoted article/study was from 2005, if I remember correctly. I used this as a base to research all of the quoted information. It is a wealth of information and for myself a great starting point in my researching my options.
