However, overall, when drugs and surgery are used to address chronic illness, it is generally a prescription for disaster. - Dr. J. Mercola, July 2005 % Avoid sugar and refined carbohydrates. Some people over 100 smoke and drink. Some have high cholesterol, some low. Some exercise, some are inactive. But there is one common denominator - all long-lived people have relatively low insulin levels. - Jon Herring, October 2005 % The easiest way to save millions of lives from early deaths and painful conditions is simple: don't drink sugar. It may not be politically correct (yet) to stop serving sugar to our kids, but hey, it took decades to make smoking socially unacceptable. How long will it take parents to stop poisoning their children? - Tyler Lackey, August 2004 % Q: What is your secret, you incredible shrinking woman? (Please tell me it comes packaged in an affordable pill.) A: I lost almost 200 pounds through diet and exercise. [...] If you're looking for a magic bullet, talk to Harry Potter, not me. - Jennette Fulda, "PastaQueen" % My dream is that in 500 years (or less) humanity will look back at what passes for psychology today in the same way that we now look back on the dark ages, when they were drilling holes in people's heads to drain out the crazy. Oh wait, we were still doing that in the twentieth century (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobotomy). - Phillip J. Eby, February 2008
