Is WiFi destroying your brain? Mark Morford

16. Have some patience

We live in a society saturated with fearful things. Some are harmful, some aren't, but it takes a lot of wisdom and research to know the difference. On your list--MSG, nitrites and nonorganic produce are known questionable food substances to limit intake of or cut out entirely. (Who really needs bacon laced with carcinogenic chemicals)? It is also best to limit alcohol, food chemicals, GMO foods, preservatives and medicines as much as realistically possible. On top of that the regulation of purity and packaging and sources is lax. Who can you trust? Surely not the FDA. read up on GMO foods and you'll understand why Europe bans them.

Look --we have NO adequate consumer protections in this country. "Buyer Beware" attitudes protect none of us. I understand why some people choose to practice extreme avoidance and keep it simple. It's smart. My Dad was not so careful--he developed leukemia & died from a chemical he was ingesting over many years. We are exposed to harmful substances routinely now.
I could give you a list of medications that people take regularly that I wouldn't touch (and even some that doctors avoid themselves). But I won't because that's not OK here.

It's a shame that some of us become paranoid, a shame that people have to research everything they eat or medicate with, a shame that we cannot trust the suppliers of these products to have consumers best interests in mind. Even some of the "natural" and less harmful products still have stuff in them that aren't so good for us in the long run.

"Unfortunately she's part of the family" (Maybe there's something else going on here?) I say have some tolerance about this. She may be extreme, but she's more right than someone who thinks they're made of teflon.
