In a response to my post relating my concern about pesticides, hormones
and antibiotics utilized in beef production, Ray Audette cited Bruce Ames
as a source re the propostion that wheat posed a greater risk. While I
understand the theory re wheat, I still have much reading and sifting to
before I accept the propostion that synthetic compounds in our food supply
are of little concern . I was impressed that professor Ames urges liberal
consumption of fruits and vegetables in consideration of antioxidative and
yet to be understood cancer and other disease preventing properties. I
came up with quite a few search engine hits for Bruce Ames, much of it
current and very readable and containing many citations to related
sources.
