Sorry Kprn I got your handle mixed with Cycleclops.

About the environmental toxins, notwithstanding the brilliant acts of corporations like BP and Monsanto is the Food Industry which is doing its share. If anyone ever gets the chance and wants to see how all our food is created and what's in it, I recommend the movie "Food, Inc". It essentially shows how our food supply is controlled by 4 Big Companies that basically dictate what goes in our food. And they are wreaking havoc with our health.

High Fructose Corn Syrup, MSG, Genetically Modified Soybean and corn oil, antibiotics, growth hormone, pesticides, irradiated meat and hydrogenated trans fat are the elements in regular non-organic food that is adding to our toxic load. These are neurotoxic, carcinogenic, free-radical creating substances that you will find in a lot of our food. In fact after watching that movie I made some big changes.

I think our food here in the U.S. is a justification in and of itself of the crucial need for antioxidant supplementation and the need for migration to organic(not always easy). Then again if our FDA did its job and really regulated things(hard to do when they are run by these companies; can we say corrupt -YES) maybe we wouldn't have to.
