As a coffee lover myself, I enjoy hearing about the potential health benefits of coffee. But as a person who likes to weight all of the risks against the benefits, I'd like to also add that caffeine...

Hi Jeff,

Glad to hear you agree on this topic. It's an important one. I do believe that everyone should have the option to make their own health decisions. That could definitely be interpreted...

I agree it's not the greatest article, although probably for different reasons. I just don't think calling people "needle nuts" is a good way to convince others of your point of view.

I appreciate your reasonable approach to this issue. I wouldn't characterize myself as strongly anti-vaccine. While I wouldn't choose them for myself or my future children, I support the rights of...

Hi Dixon,

By the same logic, I could say that it's inappropriate for people to be strongly pro-vaccine, since they do not know the long-term effects of injecting neurotoxins into the bloodstreams...

Hi Jeff,

Yes, I did look at the study. You've implied here that only the abstract is available, which is not true....the full text is available for free.

Are you saying that because a...

Hi Jeff,

Questions and statements like the ones you've made here make it seem like you didn't read the article carefully. If you had done so, you would have realized that there is a link to the...

It's certainly possible that the net effect is less deaths. Are you aware of any evidence to support that idea? It's something that is difficult to determine, especially since vaccines were...

Hi Paul,

That is absolutely true that pastured butter and eggs will have seasonal variations in color. The reason for this, however, is the variation in nutrient levels throughout the seasons. ...
