I don't think it's a fad, but a new causal link that's helping us understand the root cause of various ailments better. We've found a new root cause and that's very important. What you're saying is akin to someone in the 19th century saying that the new germ theory "fad" is being applied as the root cause to various diseases/deaths.

>"We've found a new root cause and that's very important." The problem is the next big thing to get a bunch of funding will also be a "root cause", and the next, and the next... Also, they will all be 100% correct in saying this medley of factors is related to parkinsons/cancer/etc. The trouble is, identifying "root causes" isn't what this research should be focused on. I explained more in my later post in this thread.
