Thanks, Pam. When people refuse to do this, it makes one wonder about their
agenda. (I really don't like the way that word "agenda" is used any more,
and I just used it that way! Darn!) This is a professional group, and
professionals should not be afraid to identify themselves.
Also, Dr. LaBudde's comments are appreciated. There is nothing wrong with
examining evidence and then deciding whether or not it is relevant to
consumer health, but let's avoid "Chemophobic Schizophrenia"! (Thanks to Dr
Jack Francis for that term.)
It reminds me of the cyclamate scare where they pumped five pounds of
cyclamate into the bladder of a one-pound rat and found that that was
harmful. So what did we keep to replace it? Saccharin. (Causes cancer!)
And then aspartame (PKU problem, at least!)
Keep smiling!
Paul
