    The last six or seven posts to this community that started with “Chinese scientists…” has either been complete bullshit hokum, or so exaggeratory and fast-n-loose with facts it might as well be a direct lie.

      According to the logic of Chinese medicine, yes.

      It doesn’t help the longevity of the molerats though.
