Worth stating the units and the reference range whenever you post a number here.

That holds where the measurement is reliable. Where it is noisy — and a lot of what gets tracked here is noisy — the same reasoning produces confident nonsense.

I would rather be corrected than agreed with, if it comes to it.

Genuinely useful, thank you. I had the facts and not the framework. I will report back once I have actually tried it.

Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. The mechanism and the magnitude are separate questions. Agreeing that something happens says nothing about whether it happens enough to act on.

Adding a me-too, because a thread of one person's experience is not much use. I had assumed I was the exception until I read this.

There is a second half to this that has not been said yet. The version of this that has an answer is narrower than the version being asked. Narrow it and it becomes tractable; leave it broad and the thread will produce nine confident and incompatible replies.
