Hate to break it to ya, babe, but that was a foregone conclusion, that  
dying thing.

Well, this might have validity. I checked out this outfit and this is  
what Wikipedia says about them:

The Cochrane Collaboration is a group of over 11,500 volunteers in  
more than 90 countries who apply a rigorous, systematic process to  
review the effects of interventions tested in biomedical randomized  
controlled trials.[1] A few more recent reviews have also studied the  
results of non-randomized, observational studies. The results of these  
systematic reviews are published in the Cochrane Library.
The Cochrane Collaboration was founded in 1993 under the leadership of  
Iain Chalmers, It was developed in response to Archie Cochrane's call  
for up-to-date, systematic reviews of all relevant randomized  
controlled trials of health care. Cochrane's suggestion that the  
methods used to prepare and maintain reviews of controlled trials in  
pregnancy and childbirth should be applied more widely was taken up by  
the Research and Development Programme, initiated to support the  
United Kingdom's National Health Service. Funds were provided to  
establish a 'Cochrane Centre', to collaborate with others, in the UK  
and elsewhere, to facilitate systematic reviews of randomized  
controlled trials across all areas of health care.[2]

Might be something to this. Hope it gets a lot of nutritional  
scientists involved.
