Thanks for pointing this out to me, when I read all of these articles I forget about the companies that are honest. I have read to much in the last week or so, learning more about Monsanto, Bayer, and other similar companies I feel disheartened.

While I understand being concerned about all environmental effects on our lives, including food and diet,I think that there is a lot of self-serving intent by special interests in many of the diet related health claims in the literature. Let us not forget that while our ancestors ate all natural diets, their life expectancy was decades lower than ours today. Now, I realize their are many medical and environmental advances that contribute to the increased longevity, but additives and diet don't seem to be lowering the overall life expectancy. A lot of the concern these days, in my opinion, is the overwhelming amount of information available, both legitimate and non-legitimate.
