The generally accepted meaning of {exaggeration} is to {enlarge beyond the bounds of truth}.
In this case, I see a basis for the statement in question. That basis could lead others to consider the staement in question to be {within} the bounds of truth.
It then IMHO becomes a {point of view} and different points of view are encourged here.
Others could post studies that are in some type of disagreement if they like, but still, this one point of view has a scientific basis to be stated here in a site that is about what you list as a board for guests to discuss medications and different points of view are encouraged.
But there is much more to this here. I would like for interested mebers to view the following.
Lou To do so;
A. pull up google
