are you looking for my refection or reaction....
that would be that i think more specific research needs to be made in regards to these boys. it does not say whether it was the product causing the problems, but it does suggest that was the case. so, is it or not? the study does not reveal that information... from what you have here. really, it doesn't sound like much was actually revealed... because it could have been a coincidence. it was only 3 boys & we don't know about other influences.
