[quote]There isn't much likelyhood that someone will pick it up and start any sort of significant study.[/quote]In the interests of accuracy, the New Scientist article includes a link to the University of Alberta (Canada) and the Alberta Cancer Board and mentions plans for clinical trials.

The studies cited in the New Scientist article were by scientists at the University of Alberta; the story was also picked up by Newsweek and The Economist (link to that article on the University of Alberta site, above)

The scientific paper that all this is based on is in the January 2007 isssue of the journal Cancer Cell .
