Re: Very true

Good post.  And another agree.  You are starting to worry me here . . .

Quotes, like studies and statisitics, are so numerous that we can surely find one or more to support just about anything.  I have collected many of them.  For some odd reason, I tend to collect and keep the ones that agree with me. lol

Right you are about not all things in nature being safe.  And I agree that drugs of any kind usually do have side effects.  I do not consider natural plants and supplements to be drugs for the most part, and many of those do not have any negative side effects, other than those caused by toxins from man they have absorbed through the air, water and soil. If only manmade drugs and synthetics could match nature in the number and severity of side effects . . . .

How to make people aware of the costs of their unhealthy lifestyles and nutrition is indeed the big question.  It would help if those who value profits more than lives and whose only market place is our bodies would not spend so many billions of dollars trying to suppress such information.  But it would be a total copout to say that is the only problem.  All we have to do is look in the mirror, after all.

Or at things like these two charts on my website:

and the World Clock at the top of this one: http://www.tbyil.com/healthnews.htm
