I totally appreciate you posting it kind sir, as you always seem to discover something that enthralls me. I’m going to attempt to find something more in depth on it. The article didn’t delve into much contributions this might play out in years to come. Thanks for posting and giving me something to do 🙂 ---

I wonder if the clusters are associated by location or family- if for example a babies cluster is like it’s mothers because of exposure…kewl. Just want to know more. 🙂 ---

Really interesting stuff that may impact future interesting stuff! Now a much larger study, find if there is correlation to disease or /and response to medications and weight loss/gain ect. again kewl. Thanks Boudicca!🙂
