I couldn't disagree more. In the last 6 months (180 days), there have been 213 studies released - that's more than one per day, even if you counted weekends. What is the 'same thing' they all said, and can you provide some example (ie 80 % of the studies all looked at this 'identical' issue, and came to the identical conclusion...)

Below are titles of the most recently released PCOS studies. With the exception of ONE, all have been released within the last 12 weeks. Again, what in your mind says 'the same thing' among these studies? Please be specific

I agree...not a good analogy.
