What 'actual' research? The materials quoted from the Journal of the American Physicians and Surgeons are rife with alarmist, extremist opinion, language, and conjecture. The sources are shaky at best. Anyone can write a commentary piece with made-up numbers, and put official-seeming footnotes in it. And then the footnotes turn out to be from the Op-Ed section of whatever newspaper they're sourcing, or from another website with the same extremist political agenda and twisted 'facts.'

I don't think you answered the question Blue, what you are saying could be true of virtually any cite.

No, what I said is not true of virtually any cite. That's why footnotes are usually seen as authoritative and fact-based--they're supposed to be, when they're supporting the credibility of written work.
