    It's also a good source of growth hormones, bacteria, and all other sorts of nasty junk.

    I mean I probably agree with most of what you posted Pressed, but I also think worrying about everything incessantly, although valid, hurts you quite alot.

    Probably 80% of it is true at least. maybe even more like 90. I cut out a lot of what is on that list and have noticed an improvement in my life and how I feel, so I can say that for myself, for sure, at least.

    what to eat, to who ever asked..fruits, veggies, grains, nuts, stuff like that. very healthy for you. go organic, it is the way food is supposed to be, not the exception.

    It is ascorbic acid. That one should be nixed from the list.

    I think what they were referring to is the vitamin C that comes in pill form, which isn't quite the same as the natural vitamin C that is found in fruits and vegetables.

    I take vitamin C supplements anyway -- 6,000-8,000mg daily.
