after reading Redwagon's other two posts, but then I remembered my nephew - and his acidly burned mouth due to his allergy (sensitivity) to oranges.

I could then see, where his head could have been skewed from this type of information and re-thought things through.

Also, my niece was told she's "allergic" to calcium!

I figure, if people are "told" by a medical official they are allergic to Iodine (like I was told back in the day), then, perhaps today, some are told the same thing about other things the body actually needs.

I decided to give Redwagon (and others reading her posts) the benefit of the doubt - especially when she said that kelp (which has Iodine in it) helped her.

genetic modification is the craziest thing these idiots have ever conceived. it doesnt matter whether you think evolution or creation. the balance upon which life hangs is too complex and has so many components still hidden from us to ever think we could mess with it and do good instead of harm. it is pure greed and megalomania that allows this to be done.

I just had some home-grown beets...mmmmm....
