Are there any long-term studies of these issues? I'd be surprised if there's actually enough good ones to draw conclusions.

A great point. Our brains parse "no study has found any long-term benefit" as "studies have found no long-term benefit", which is not accurate.

Good point, but doesn't the article specifically mention one 8 year study where all effects were gone by the end of the 8 years?
