Thanks for the replies. Do any of you ever question the historical facts? What exactly were the cavemen eating? Were their omega 3-6-9's balanced? Were the cavemen getting enough magnesium?

I agree with everyone that the fast, processed, chemical-ridden foods have got to be causing us harm. It's a no-brainer ... when you can't pronounce the list of ingredients, don't eat them. I just question the precise-ness of the recommendations regarding supplements -trying to make sense of it has sort of added a new problem into my life. I don't need a new one.

I absolutely believe that we should eat a well balanced, chemical-free diet of proteins, carbs and fats. What I have a problem with is needing a calculator to figure out the omega's and worrying about some fish oil capsule causing internal bleeding. I think I am venting..... thanks for all of your input. Maybe I'm just ticked because I don't like dark chocolate.
