I'm sorry for the venting I did. I am basically not willing
to do the necessary research to make decisions regarding
supplements. I appreciate all of the links to studies, but
after reading them I need to take a seat on marejo's
confusion couch. Some of them are highly technical and
take much concentration and re-reading to absorb, and
the information is often contradictory.
Chrisy the new propeller head is trying to figure out the oleic
acid of olive oil and the new herceptin/toxin combo. There's
the new Vit. D study that contradicts everything we have
been told. There's research out of Princess Margaret in
Toronto about flax seed inhibiting ER+ tumours in mice.
I don't think it is unreasonable to want a precise answer to
the question "what supplements should I take?". And, at times,
I think that we are looking for anything to help us beat this
crappy disease. We want to do everything we can to survive.
Are we grasping at straws when we look for vitamins and
herbs to help keep us alive? I am venting again.
This is a huge industry and we are vulnerable.
I am very glad that I have never come across endangered species white chocolate with macadamia nuts.
