"I think the only thing this means is that Dr. Leinwand will be applying for grant money from the NIH to study her findings further."
Her application would generate a lot of laughs on the NIH study section. Like I said, this is basically a non-issue and it only makes her look like a goofball who isn't paying enough attention to her experimental animals.
Although I am, at times, amazed by some of the research the NIH chooses to fund, I have to think that her claim that switching lab rats from a diet of soy protein to milk protein miraculously improved the health of the male rats will be treated with a great deal of skepticism by her peers.
