A lot of the concern these days, in my opinion, is the overwhelming amount of information available, both legitimate and non-legitimate.

Let me think: Who would more likely be guilty of "self-serving intent by special interests"? The owners/operators of the small organic farm in Pedro, or a company like Monsanto? I think that the answer is so obvious that it's a no-brainer! As far as Monsanto is concerned, perhaps the chickens are finally coming home to roost....
Can we consider the possibility that "additives and diet" may not
appear "to be lowering the overall life expectancy," but they
may have a part in preventing yet greater life expectancy. I emphasize "may" because I am just speculating; I don't believe that this can be documented.
