2006 Study about False EtG positives

[Guest guest]

A recent study about false positives in EtG test. Unfortunately the

study seems to be focusing on that people are drinking alcohol and

the " false positives " may be masking the suspected intentional

consumption. She never addresses anything about endogenous reasons

for varied consumption having any reasons to cause positive

results. Like Dan has pointed out, none of these researchers are

addressing the issue of why those not drinking have such varied

positive EtG levels. I know enough about research that these

scientist seemed to stay in the box that only addresses that EtG can

be detected so many days later. Then they stop there and do not

look at the outliers. Hardly ever a conclusion, if ever, that

further research is needed since EtG levels vary so widely among

people. Regardless, it is a study with much detail that educates

about EtG and worth the read.
