New York and Organ Donation
A New York polititian who has a daughter who needed two kidney transplants wants to change the law to be an opt out on organ donation. Twenty four countries in Europe are already doing this. I am against this. It’s a lot more than just taking a needed organ. It’s organ and tissue…
Still Trying to Eliminate Salt
People are still reluctant to give up salt and with every other healthfood concern they don’t consider salt that much of an enemy. The agreement is still ongoing that the salt be lowered in such a gradual fashion that the public won’t notice or miss it so much. We’ve got to grow up a…

To Be Or Not To Be Vitamin D
Here’s an interesting bit of news. Vitamin D in it’s pure form doesn’t effect breast cancer before, during, or after menopause, however, as a supplement it does seem to have an effect in cutting down the risk of breast cancer. This is the first time I’ve had to read a news story twice to make…
Mental Health and Wife Swap
