“Now that our public health establishment has eliminated smoking from public places, maybe they can find a way to reduce stress and disease by removing morons from positions of power.”

“The first time I met and embraced Judy Garland, it made pharmaceutical history.”

“Soil in many lots was saturated with lead used in gasoline and cadmium used in diesel fuels, as well as other dangerous heavy metals. To investigate their effects on plants, Cornell [University] grew crops in tainted soil and fed them to guinea pigs, and examined both the plants and the guinea pigs’ livers. [John] Ameroso soon found that keeping the pH of the soil near neutral tied up the metals so the plants did not take them in, and any trace amounts concentrated in the leaves, not the fruit. Adding organic compost could help reduce the concentration.”

Think of the intestines as a river, not as a swamp, lake, or lagoon.

Kay R. McPherson (“Fiber, stool bulk, and bile acid output: implications for colon cancer risk,” Preventive Medicine, Jul. 1987) wrote …

“Most types of fiber increase the total volume of stool and reduce the concentration of specific substances, including bile acids, that are in contact with the bowel wall. However, fibers differ in their effect on stool bulk, with wheat fiber being a more effective stool bulking agent than fruit and vegetable fibers. In addition, the extent to which a specific fiber reduces bile acid concentration will be modified by its concomitant effects on total fecal sterol excretion. Whereas wheat bran reduces fecal bile acid concentration, pectin, lignin, and oat bran do not. These three fibers significantly increase total bile acid output. Bile acids act as promoters of colonic tumors in mutagenesis assay systems and in various animal models.”
