I had not seen this AAP link before, and I don't think it's right to dismiss it just because we don't like what it says. If we, as skeptics, are not going to consider scientific research from a reputable, national medical organization, then we are no better than the crazy Christians who deny evolution research because the source has an "agenda."
Being normally a reputable national organization does not automatically mean that every study or review they conduct will not suffer major flaws.
As a skeptic, you shouldn't trust blindly what any one organization or scientist tells you.
Where did I say we should do such a thing? My implication was that we perform our due diligence in evaluating all of the evidence no matter where it comes from. I haven't even looked at these meta analysis from the AAP yet.
