It seems logical and like cheap health insurance to avoid products and habits that may be unhealthy -- even if only over long periods of time and high volumes.<br /><br />Your portrayal of Mercola seems as one-sided as his.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8211371452778645597.post-39868816306322682262010-05-03T14:11:46.608-07:002010-05-03T14:11:46.608-07:00Hi Steven - Thanks for sharing the information abo...Hi Steven - Thanks for sharing the information about Teflon pans.
