I understand perfectly well that L-argenine is part of the production
path to nitric oxide. What I object to is the association of the 1998
Nobel prize with L-argenine or any other association of the Nobel prize
with improved heart or cardiovascular health. The Nobel prize was given
for the discovery that nitric oxide was a signaling molecule. It had
not previously been realized that a gas could play such a role.
It was indeed a huge discovery. However that discovery plays no part in
the marketing or claims for the efficacy of L-arginine that have
appeared since. As I commented in an earlier thread, I was a bit
bothered to see so many people writing reviews of Ignarro's book making
that same erroneous assumption.
That's why I said: "Read carefully"
