Well, Lee (good to hear from you, BTW), I don't know about all that other stuff; some I believe, some I'd like to see proof of. But I am reading as much as I can about the health effects of sugar and I find it a little disconcerting that these authors have no trouble quoting studies proving that sugar is dangerous, studies going back 75 years, and yet all is quiet on the sugar front. The history of sugar is rife with examples of well-meaning people who tried to get the word out who were discredited or otherwise silenced. There's simply too much profit to be made for the masses to be allowed to learn that sugar (and processed foods in general) is killing them as surely as a bullet. (Way to stire it up and split!) Take care, John Pavao ---------- Hi there John, I see you're still stalking those black helicopters. :-) Interesting list this. btw you so-called conspiracy theorists, stop apologizing for presenting thoughts that need to be considered. The conspiracy of silence in the face of recognized danger is a greater threat than the organized attempts at control. Yeah, I'm a conspiracy theorist. However, I like to call myself a populist, sounds so much neater and PC. Remember, there is no such thing as communism. There is no such thing as La cosa nostra, the mafia. Covert operations are all sanctioned by the President and our congressional members know at all times what is going on in the basement of the white house. Nafta is not a step towards one world government, neither is European Unification.George Bush was just using poetic license when referring to a new world order. And a single gunman was responsible for the death of JFK. Now, I gotta have me some peppered jerky to fire myself up before bedtime. Nice meetin' ya'll. Lee Rodgers
