I respect Dr Jelovsek and his opinion. Hoever, I disagree with it. I checked out many of the references, that he listed. As he says they are ambivalent. Some say yes, some say no. Usually this means that if there is any effect, it is extremely small. Most of the articles that said yes have little scientific veracity to them. A few of the ones that say no fall into the same category.

Nuff said, I won't change your mind, and you won't change mine. And that is OK.
