Re: Great video interview with Olivia Newton-John
Cal-Gal,
Thanks for posting this interview. She looks fabulous and her remarks really hit home with me. When she said all these new recommendations "don't make sense," made me feel that she was expressing my very own thoughts. Having had breast cancer certainly puts an acute perspective on this new hype and one that I hope and pray the general public will listen to.
