Thanks for the information, nutraxfornerves.

'trax: it is obvious.

But methought the Dr.'s point was beyond this: sth. like taking supplements was itself bad (not cos they were used as subs. but that they, like hydro fats, were not a good idea at all).

But I can't recall the details.

Could this be it?

On June 16, 2007, the good doctor was asked about antioxidant supplements. He replied<blockquote>Quote
<hr>Antioxidants are supposed to 'mop up and destroy' free radicals - chemicals thought to be part of the cause of cancers and ageing. So the simplistic argument is that they should be beneficial, and the more the better. Not so, according to recent opinion in the journal of the National Cancer Institute. Two renowned cancer experts wrote that if antioxidant supplements decrease free radicals, they may interfere with essential defensive mechanisms for ridding us of damaged cells, including those that are pre-cancerous and cancerous. So they may well cause harm. I don't want to take sides, but I wouldn't dream of taking them myself.<hr></blockquote>

'trax: that is it exactly. Many thanks. Tony

"(Trax'?..Before you even think about having a go at me...The OP really can search for what you post on here....)"

S/O: not entirely fair, tho' the OP can speak for her-/himself.

For my part: I am grateful for 'trax's help, however boring others may find it.

Also, I find 'trax one of the most helpful, least critical and genuinely pleasant on here. And: I once posted on here as an atheist and, if I recall right, 'trax posted as a Christian: but without vehemence, without taking offence or being self-righteousness - for which I much admired her.

P.S. Knowing my luck, 'trax'll post that she's an atheist and it's someone else! In either case, I much admire 'trax.

..Furry muff....

P.P.S. In fairness, 'trax didn't post so much as a Christian as 'each to their own' - but ye get the gist.

1. OK - so, be nice. If I can do it, anyone can :)

"She's 'killed' many a thread on GS...."

That is unfair.

There was a time when 'trax posted fast and we asked her to slow down; and she did. That was years ago. Even then what she posted was well worth reading and, fortunately for us, she still posts it, albeit a wee bit later than she might.

What ye posted is utterly unfair. Aside from anything else, I asked for it - quite literally.

IMO: 'trax is one of the best on here: heart of gold, utterly sincere, totally humane; and I won't mention her sheer genius.
