Proprietary?

In what sense are yoghurt and milk "proprietary formulations"? I must be misunderstanding this sentence.

Hope the rephrasing has fixed this.

Bad cite in lede?

[4] is given as support of the claim that use of inulin to measure kidney function is a "gold standard" approach (which is a term lifted directly from the source). However, the general thrust of that paper and its eventual conclusion are, in fact, that reassessment of such standards (and more directly relevant to the paper are indirect calculations of GFR, totally unrelated to the "gold standard" approach) are required. Thus the source does not really seem to support the claim viz. "gold standard" in lede and should be removed (removed along with the claim in question, I fail to see why this "gold standard" is so noteworthy as to appear in the lede). It is effectively an attack on the current state of GFR diagnostics as they stand... 2605:B100:1130:28C:ECF5:35F9:1DFB:31F5 (talk) 15:48, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
