Re: Dangerous Supplements Consumer Reports

[Guest guest]

Stating that Consumer Reports is " owned by the establishment " is apparently

quite a stretch. This organization regularly attacks drugs and even 'over the

counter' meds. They do have, on their staff and Board of Directors people

connected to society as well as Universities. Additionally they take up causes

with verification of what they say. For example, they recently pushed for

strong control over the Financial Industry and there is nothing more

'Establishment's than that bunch.

What they don't do is publish without either their own studies or studies done

by others. Leonard qualifies whereas they may not by saying, " when used

properly " and that makes sense. It would be a shame to avoid Consumers Reports

because they provide valuable information for every day living.

Here's a site to check regarding their operation:

Who among our list would use them for more than cursory health information but I

would re a toaster?

Hi Robyn,

Since you brought it up I'm curious to know what your political opinion about

the Financial Bill has to do with cancer or cancer cures?

Thank you,

Sandy

Thanks Sandy for throwing your question out and I'll add, forget the opinion,

what does the Financial Bill have to do with this list? Nothing.

We often drop comments about the 'Establishment' when we speak to Medical Issues

etc, but we should avoid our personal opinions about political matters that have

nothing to do with this list. As is correct. The only thing that is done

when political opinions are posted, is generate a response contrary to, as well

as in agreement with the opinion.

Because someone said that consumer reports or whoever they were did good things

because they are trying to clamp down on the financial industry and that was

good. Did you not read the rest of the email.  Maybe they are not related and

maybe they are.

You're welcome, Joe. I often feel it's distracting and counter-productive to our

health issues to bring in personal political opinions. Everyone has them but we

should find a political forum to voice them and that's my opinion.

Warm regards,

Sandy

Be well, Robyn...I would prefer not to discuss political opinions on this forum

at all and that's what you gave.

Best regards,

Sandy
