His conclusion was that these medical conditions were connected to the impact that trace amounts of thallium detected in some kale samples had on the body. I don’t think the conclusion is based on a strict scientific basis. It’s essential to point out that the original report was in a web magazine, not a scientific journal which is subject to peer review by other scientists. A scientific review includes a careful evaluation of how the findings and conclusions were made. Certain factors are critical before an evidencebased conclusion can be made, such as: how many people were in a study。 how much kale was consumed and for how long。選項中有兩項為多余選項。 Whenever we hear about “the homeless”, most of us think of the Developing world.
