Yes, it occurs in reef materials throughout the world.</i><br /><br />And this:<br /><br /><i>What testing was done? <br /><br />Seventy-six subjects (38 men and 38 women) volunteers were admitted to the study.<br />Each volunteer participated in a study lesson lasting more than 2 hours, where several physiologic parameters and behavioral changes were recorded before, and after intranasal exposure to a small dose of ER 303 and a placebo.</i><br /><br />Assuming this really was HPSI's website, the study protocol reminds me of work EROX Corp. did back in the day.<br /><br />P.S. I'll look for Real Simple piece.

I know you don't believe any of the phe...Avery,<br />I know you don't believe any of the pheromone claims for increased flirtiness. Was the 'double blind study" published in any journal we should be wary of?<br /><br />On a related note, did you the the small piece in the latest Real Simple magazine about fragrance designers who claim the right smells can have more effect on what you buy than sights or sound? The magazine's advice is unobjectionable - think whether you really need it before you impulse purchase - but I think they may be too credulous.EdCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125354955146250762.post-3154751725248664102011-07-26T04:09:05.899-07:002011-07-26T04:09:05.899-07:00Cheeto dust!
