I'm sorry, Chas. When I'm finding this stuff I've been posting it, just in case it might affect one of us.

I think there's another study on the topic that I heard is embargoed until 1 today. I'll try to chase it down and get it posted here, whether it reinforces this first one or not.

Everything is so preliminary right now.

I heard a second hand anecdotal report from Italy on the same point.

It was enough for the person who related it to me (MD/PhD at an Ivy League teaching hospital) to get her family off of ACE inhibitors.

I'm on an ACE inhibitor. Ugh.

Time to try having a video chat with a doctor ...

Seems like it's still pretty speculative and that the mainstream experts are saying to stay the course.

But clearly a good idea to keep an eye on where this research goes.
