I agree, sometimes things are merely as they seem. But that all too often is not the case with this misadminstration. If the ruling on supplements was a stand-alone event, then I'd be more inclined to agree that OPs concerns might be overblown. However, consider the other ruling and press releases we've heard over the course of the past couple of weeks: It doesn't help you to eat a low-fight diet? WTF? Anti-oxidants do nothing to ward off cancer? Look, maybe still each and every one of these findings/releases is absolutely true, who knows. And five or six year ago when my cynicism levels were significantly lower, I might have given these releases a pass without a second look. But given BushCo's demonstrated propensity to make up science in order to advance it's own agenda, I'd say these information releases bear close watching.
Me, I'm not going back on the Big Macs and fries and dropping the multi-vites just because BushCo says they're okay. It seems that would only benefit THE HEALTH CARE industry!
In fact...there is a comic strip about this very subject, and I happen to draw it!
HOO Cares!...
