But, but, but I have scientific studies too!
Of course I was making some supplement-nerd humor because they both said, "Niacin has another effect...I just can't remember...." And it turns out, niacin may improve memory.
But it is interesting how we study ingredients and get results and it never goes anywhere. In contrast, The_Old_Guy said something once that was spot on - I do lots of things that I'm not sure what the exact health benefits are, but I believe long term they are good for me - like eating broccoli.
I wonder if there is any science around the health aspects of broccoli? I've never looked...maybe I will later.
I also had a doctor once debating the benefits of N-Acetylcysteine for someone taking tylenol chronically. He asked how I had used it - I had originally bought some for my girlfriend who wanted to try it for her asthma - and he asked, "Did it cure her?" ...I bit my tongue but it was hard...I could have asked, "Have you ever cured asthma?" Sometimes a single "cure" isn't really the point.
Lol - how'd watching your son go? Great, I was running around with him for hours and now I've got this killer pump!
