I commend this article to readers of this newsgroup that are interested
in a sobering discussion of information about melatonin based on
methodically rigorous scientific research, as opposed to some of the
unbridled speculation, pseudoscience, and wishful thinking being
promulgated by some individuals on this newsgroup.

The reference is: 

Reppert, Steven M., & Weaver, David R. Melatonin madness. Cell 83:
1059-1062 (December 29, 1995 issue).
