For example, a dietitian or other third party might state in a newspaper column that, "Milk is rich in calcium." Now that may be a true statement but the problem is that consumers therefore assume that it helps build strong bones. Consumers get scammed like this repeatedly.

And the wheat and corn industry do the same thing with help from the government. We are being poisoned by genetically altered wheat and corn syrup added to almost everything today. The wheat and corn lobbies are so strong in Washington that our government will never go against them.

In fact, the government subsidizes the people that grow this stuff and promote it's use through that incredibly inaccurate food pyramid that was foisted upon us a few years back. Not much has done more to harm the health of Americans than the food pyramid.
