And done.

+1 for you both.

Dit-to!

Sure, if telling you that more research is needed and that you can't assume the researcher's argument is valid in light of potential mitigating factors sounds like "no answer" to you.

I'm glad you're at a dojo that is looking out for you.

Why are you assuming one research study is valid?

The same way those factors could cause issues for single births.

I hope more longitudinal studies are done on GMOs. I didn't know about the French study at all.

I encountered the same until I reminded them that I would not break like glass, and that they weren't helping me learn to defend myself properly. After a few months they stopped worrying about hurting me and relaxed.

The first rule of science is to question findings and duplicate those findings.

And GMOs - we have no long term studies on their impact.

I mean the amount of prescribed pharmaceuticals found in everyone's water supply now.

I thought about this too and what about changes in our environment, increases in pesticides and pharmaceuticals in the drinking water.

Did the study mention anything about environmental factors, like the medicated water we all drink? I'm having a hard time making the leap that researchers are said to have found in this article.

I agree Ari. We can't hand out sentences for crimes and then continue to punish someone after they have served that time.

Yes, too afraid if appearing rude can get you into icky situations.

Great point. She could also have transportation and child care issues that cause her to run late. The doctor should have spoken with her patient and worked on perhaps scheduling her at a time that might better suit the patient/client.

This makes me grateful for my OBGYN.
