Re: [ACEsthetics] antioxidants and real data- nothing to sell here

And Rick...."real foods" ain't what they used to be as far as nutritional value, thus why the supplement world is ever growing.

My perspectives are these:
1. Most nutrients can be obtained by eating real foods. Not that very many are actually trying it.
2. Taking any medication on a regular basis is a questionable strategy- including hormones, statins, aspirin and most vitamins. Certainly prescription drugs- I have a neighbor who is on the bone marrow recipient list, due to a combination of non-Hodgkins and Burkett's lymphoma, most likely due to the Embrel he took for four years to combat his psoriasis! Think about it, he is very likely going to die from something he took to combat a skin condition!
3. I welcome anyone's contribution to our knowledge, but I do want to know if there is a commercial interest behind their recommendations, capeesh? Not that it would invalidate what they say, but it will give a view of what might be driving them.
4. The data will always be compromised in one way or the other, for sure. Or it can be manipulated. By and large, I trust large studies with a very high number of participants more than anything else.

Prescription drugs actually need to show very little efficacy. Statins are a good example. ~100,000 deaths per year from prescription drugs (great medical system huh). And then there is non-prescription drugs, consider.... Tylenol, aspirin (you know, the OTC they recommend for BP etc ) which adds about 400 deaths per year. Docs can recommend that.... .oh but they wouldn't do that would they....LOL! Where's that oversight?
The oversight for the prescription drugs is if too many people (not just a few) die. A little late....but better than nothing?



Todd, I am familiar with the value of sarcasm, but I think it's best not used as a primary strategy.
