Hmmm.... do you have any URL's? I've been Googling all over the place and can't find much, apart from the oft-quoted "feed a rodent laboratory forumla" which isn't much help.

This is the main one I was thinking of - provides a pretty good overview of what is known (bearing in mind it is now 10 years old) and provides references to each study so you can read up further if you are so inclined and have the time - I haven't found the time amongst everything else.
