Boy HOW I agree with you.
When our daughter Helene had breast cancer ten years ago, it seems that the traditional health care community promoted them a little. When I had breast cancer recently, our oncologist said definitely not to take them. Now he is a genuine person who volunteers his vacations in a third world country so I know that greed is not a motivator.
I try to serve a "colorful plate" as instructed by my grandmother years ago. We eat all kinds of fruits and vegetables and I try to keep them two thirds of our diet. I think fish oil IS beneficial or lots of fish.(Yes. I know about the mercury) I am an avid reader about health issues, and I feel that some folks are not carefully considering the risks when they take a lot of supplements. Just my very humble opinion.
