Cool Annie I guess I'm guilty of seeing what I thought you were saying and not actually what you were... sorry about that.

I've been in a lot of arguments with co-workers lately who seem to think that "the cure" is in a particular diet. Citing things like aboriginal diets as cures for cancer (seriously, did you know there is a group of aboriginals in the mountains somewhere where cancer is unknown? Of course the cited article neglects to mention their mean-age of death from natural causes) B-vitamins are widely cited as "happy vitamins" and I do take them in addition to my D and C vits, but they're no cure for depression. A lot of people not going through a disease or condition have quick-fix solutions and a lot of those quick fixes are snake-oil. I've gotten into the zone of calling out when someone says "take B complex, you'll be fine" "pull up your socks and get better, you'll be fine" etc. A little over defensive I guess

Cheers,

Brian.
