Is there a link to any new original research leading to this conclusion? I looked at the link and it appears to me that this is based on a review of the literature that the author, who directs a magnesium research and outreach center in Hawaii wrote. Did I miss something?

I’m not dismissing the importance of magnesium, or any other mineral, vitamin, or nutrient in health, but I wasn’t able to find anything new here.

Here's another interesting tidbit:
