Since I posted this, two studies that I missed with negative results have been pointed out, and it's also been pointed out that several of the studies that I thought were independent replications may actually have been subject to editorial influence by Dhurandhar and Atkinson. Additionally, serious questions have been raised about their integrity which I am not able to evaluate. Therefore, I am retracting my statement that is is proven that AD-36 causes substantial weight gain. I now assign this statement a probability of only 0.4.
