And this isn’t a review, but here’s one additional study:
So I did a quick search through the scholarly literature and the results are overwhelmingly the opposite of your claim. So much so that I wouldn’t even know which studies to link (there are thousands). Science isn’t perfect and statistics alone guarantee many ambiguous results, some of which you seem to have found.
It would help if you could link to at least one of the thousands. What’s one you think makes a strong case? I’m not sure if you’re referring to actual studies or, maybe, confusing blog posts and “expert” opinions with actual studies.
