@vikrampg, you're quite right. The research @lvb shared is still in very early lab studies in petri dishes (in vitro). So often, news outlets and social media will broadcast early promising research that have yet to be tested in human trials. Many in vitro and in vivo (mice) studies fail before they get to human trials unfortunately.

This is definitely one of those situations where the advice would be "Don't try this at home, kids." It would be impossible to replicate the findings with over the counter products.

@lvb, it's true that there is so much information out there. Some of it helpful and hopeful, and some of it incorrect.
