It's a currently fashionable brief statement of agreement.

[irishtenor]

I’m too old for fashionable. :>)

Slightly pudgy in a comfortable way better discribes me.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Ah, yes... Must get my mind out of Agutter...

[irishtenor]

:>O

[LucyJo]

LOL. Well, I don’t think I’d be too big on the suppositories either!

The problem with that is, doctors, for the most part, don’t know jack about food supplements. In fact, most don’t even believe in them.

True, doctors do however believe in prescribing toxic drugs, with nasty side effects, controled by the corrupt FDA.

Fish oil is good for the Omegas, but I take this for my Omega-3’s and 6’s:

Put it in the blender or food processor with cottage cheese, honey, your choice of fruit juice, and milk or soy milk, and it turns into a nice little custard.

And if you believe the studies that Dr. Johanna Budwig has done, it will serve as a cancer preventative too, due to the way flax oil interacts with the cottage cheese.

For extra cancer prevention, throw in some almond meal.

Our Barn sho nuff likes thing that go in the back door.

[Balata]

It must be good for you then.

Ditto on the more control.

There is no “early death”, there is only death. We all die when we are supposed to. Not a minute sooner.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Please, come in from the Islamic/Calvinist rain.

Bio, adding one to your excellent list...

Many of these studies rely on self-reporting by subjects, quite possibly leading to inaccuracies in supplement identification and dose.

[irishtenor]

***LOL. Well, I don’t think I’d be too big on the suppositories either!***

And they taste terrible!!!!!!!!!!!

[LucyJo]

They do look a bit fish-eyed, don’t they?

However, Catherine Collins, of the British Dietetic Association, said: "This study is deeply worrying and shows that there should be more regulation for vitamins and minerals.

"The public can buy vitamins as easily as sweets. They should be treated in the same way as paracetamol with maximum limits on the dosage."

Someone is spending good money to convince people that their vitamins should be tightly regulated.

This study, and the kind of uncritical publicity it receives, outrages me.

Reviews of this study that find good reason to criticize it can be found at:

She died for the same reason that we all die: SIN. Why does sin exist? That is the mystery. But don't diminish God by denying His authority.

Luke 13
1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
4 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Amos 3:6
Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Yes, that’s the kind of look you get when you’ve been to the proctologist one too many times.

[irishtenor]

Sir, please do not equate Calvinism with Islam. Calvinists worship the Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Anybody with a sense of wisdom would know that. If you do not like Calvin, that is fine. That is your problem, not mine. Whatever your belief, I did not, nor will I make fun of it. If you want more information about what I believe, please ask, do not make assumptions.

[LucyJo]

Hmmm. Dr. Chocolate. I’ll have to read this one. Thanks.
