This is the author of the op-ed : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Mercola http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Mercola Of relevance : > In 2005, 2006, and 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned Mercola and his company to stop making illegal claims regarding his products' ability to detect, prevent and treat disease.[7] The medical watchdog site Quackwatch has criticized Mercola for making "unsubstantiated claims and clash with those of leading medical and public health organizations [and making] many unsubstantiated recommendations for dietary supplements." In my opinion, everything with the exception of the cited study should be taken with a large grain of salt.
