Anecdotal evidence is not derived from double blinded experiments. There are five levels of scientific evidence that are generally accepted in the community of research trialists. Level 5 is anecdotal evidence based on a case report. Level 1 evidence is derived from placebo controlled double blinded randomized controlled trials. Please site your reference for double blinded controlled trials.

Here's a nice Google Search. Some of those links point to real science on the matter.

I'm sure you'll be able to find lots of "Level 1" evidence in the peer-reviewed papers that are included among the links. The double-blind question is whether you'll change your tune after reading a few.
