Well, you're welcome to your caution, but, gee, sounds like a pretty easy
thing to find out without waiting another decade from Dr. Snow to get around
to it--especially when these guys are so interested in peddling fat these
days.

what? Anybody wanna go beg Cosequin for some research funding?????
(And I know JUST the university to carry out the study, what an amazing
coincidence). >>

See, this is what I have against the academic point of view. Don't figure out
anything until some grant money is given, and then, don't answer any genuine
questions because the grant money stops as soon as the question is answered.
