Well,

given the scope of the journal in which this REVIEW article was published 
(Journal American Physicians and Surgeons) it makes me personally 
wonder why this review article wasn't published in a journal with a more 
appropriate scope, readership, and referees .......
And how it made it into this journal since it is not really fitting into the usual 
landscape .............
Looks to me that it was either turned down by those journals, or there was 
the intention of the authors to fly low under the radar screen to avoid critical 
and qualified discussion ......

Same applies to the 31000 American scientists that signed the petition.......
Who are those people and what is their expertise?

What I want to say is that it is very easy to get mislead and blindsided.  
Facts can be interpreted in many different ways, and review articles are not 
only a presentation of other people data it's also an interpretation by a third 
person who picked those "references" in the first place.

Anyway I have a few red flags going up!
