This isn't a press release, it is a scientific article in an academic journal.
Just try to access the full text from outside a subscribing university institution.
This item requires a subscription to Endocrine Reviews Online.
The price to get it? 25 dollars.
Be careful of sounding elite-like.
Academia has its roots in the Greek elite, male-only misogynist society.
If one wishes to do what Carl Sagan suggested, broadening scientific communication to the public, academia will need to shatter the eliteness inherited from its origins in Greece.

I for one, and maybe the only, am SICK of hearing this.
Who exactly gives you or anyone in the PTB the natural right to authoritativley state that there are "too many people"?
"One is a general term used for uneducated audiences, one is the recognized scientific term used in mature, logical debate."

I did no name calling. I know what exactly an ad hominem is, and know when it crosses the line and stop.
I just reacted to this statement by you, with the specific parts bolded:
"One is a general term used for uneducated audiences, one is the recognized scientific term used in mature, logical debate."
if this does not look a little elite, I don't know what is.

Well, not really.
The member "BlackJackal" is the one who used the word "mature/mature debate".

Now getting more on topic.
A while back a news report stated some researchers used mosquitoes as an ambulant needle acting as a mobile vaccine in an experiment.
Be wary of mosquitoes, you might just be vaccinated in the near future without your knowledge("informed consent").
Whatever happened to ethics in today's world? Water fluoridation is already an enormous breach of it.
If "informed consent" is no longer upheld, what did the Nuremberg and Helsinki agreements accomplish?

Informed conset is absolutely still being upheld. Water fluoridation hasn't been show, in any scientific study of merit, to be harmful.
