LOL....I didn't mean to alarm or sadden you, Jean-Claude.  The statement
should be read in *context* of the entire message about why I believe
nutritional supplements are valid paleo discussion.  I wasn't slamming the
marvels of life.  Expressed another way, life/food is a series of chemical
bases, interactions, and reactions.  I would suppose you're somewhat
analytical (as opposed to mystical) about food, too, when you eat specific
foods (for their molecular nutrient composition) that address your adrenal
problems. :-)
