There's a huge field of research here. It's shocking to me how people jump in to disparage the commenter when it takes just a few seconds to check if there's research - try Googling "plantains wound healing site:nih.gov"

How about just linking to something compelling, instead of saying "search this site for this"

Because there are hundreds of studies, and everyone's better served by looking at what's out there for themselves. I could have linked to the Google search, but that would've been pretty condescending.

While that's true, I and many other people on here aren't qualified to decide which are compelling. Since you seem to be purporting to have those qualifications, why not link to a few notable studies, or an applicable literature review, instead of saying "search for this".

"Since you seem to be purporting to have those qualifications" - which qualifications did I purport to have? Googling to verify that research does indeed exist?

We all, by merit of commenting here and having access to the Internet, have these qualifications.
