This also makes me wonder about BPH in bite splints? You know, the stuff they found in baby bottles....bis-phenols? I stopped wearing my bite splint wondering if it is giving off BPH. I read something that they DO have BPH but 'that amount' won't hurt.

I also am upset with the addition of Vitamin D to foods. IF, and this is an IF, I am facing neurosarc, I don't want anymore D in my life. I have high levels of D already. Let ME decide what I put in my mouth without having to drive 30 miles to Whole Foods or own a goat!

Why put vitamins in food when we can take a pill?

All this crud is marketing....it is competition....some one gets a concept, wants recognition, writes some paper and gets some pharmaceutical company on board and off they go...Sell, baby sell.

Now I understand that the new talk is every one is deficient in D. I do understand some people don't absorb D. Is it possible we don't understand D. Vitamin D is a secosteroid that activates the immune system. It is lipid soluable, so it stays in our bodies.

I understand many don't get the sunshine they used to, but some people do, and some people have diseases that D is not good for. There was a guy on NPR, a doctor who was doling out advice to people and the moderator of the program ended up telling the audience to speak to their OWN doctors before implementing these very high doses of D. Perhaps they should check people for D related diseases prior to pushing D.

With so many people with autoimmune disease, I don't think we should add D to foods without knowing what all these people have.....how many folks have had T cell panels? This is not routine....heck, it isn't even done when you are sick with some odd thing!!

Why can't we just have natural foods anymore?

I would have assumed Polygrip is totally safe!! Well, at least as safe as my mercury/silver fillings! Bahhh....I am so disgusted with the lack of regulation. I am going to go sulk.

Never mind that Quest diagnostics just admitted that most of their Vit D tests were done wrong!

You won't want to read about the mercury in high fructose corn syrup then.

BenGay is not safe either. A young female athlete just died last year using too much of that too.

Unfortunately given that people are all genetically different, there will be exceptions to many things the majority can benefit from.

The autism community knows this very well.

Frustration and anger are very understandable with disease.
I sure was angry after suffering from hypothyroidism thru my pregnancy and for 15 yrs after!

I kind of remember that one. Didn't she like put it all over her? That certainly wouldn't be the thing to do.
