I have read this as well! to my knowledge it has never been posted here, though. It is isolated, anecdotal observation within the medical community. Not even a hypothesis, and certainly not yet the basis for a medical study. It is so counter intuitive for most respected doctors and scientists, that I don't think any of them has even gotten the nerve up to do anything (yet) other than observe in awe.

I absolutely refused to believe it when I first read about it, incidentally. Sounds more like medical myth, but it has been observed repeatedly.
