QR code is not particularly dense (like compared to something like a hard drive) - why waste space that could not be put towards more redundancy (error correction)?

This is not an RCT nor does it point to one supporting your uric acid claims. And Lustig is well known, he's on the border of being a crackpot, unfortunately. Mehmet Oz is a professor emeritus of Columbia, and contributed some amazing
