Hello Rhonda,

I have read the article and with all due respect, I don't buy it. To say they just a simple diet change can reduce cancers by 60% - 70% is too simplistic. I think there is something far greater at work here. I read that in 1900, there chances of getting BC was 1 in 400. Now it is 1 in 8!! I don't believe that people ate "healthier" 100 years ago, but I do believe what they ate was different than what we eat now.
Call it environmental toxins, heavy metals, etc. I don't think that's it's what we eat but what's in what we eat.

I am a staunch supporter of CO-Q10 but when you read the article, it's pretty questionable. But still I think it's one of the best supplements to take.

My always questioning mind tells me that we shouldn't believe everything we read.

Regards,
Al
