This isn't /r/trees, you can't expect to make a claim like that without backing it up.
I made no claim, the parent did.

Yeah that's misleading at best.

No evidence? You mean other than the study linked in the NPR article that's at the head of this discussion?
You mean the linked NPR article that agrees it doesn't have lasting effects, but instead effects that clear up as soon as people stop using? (Although with no control group, the described study is essentially worthless)
