This article was printed in today's Los Angeles Times Newspaper. I thought you might find it interesting.

    Came right up with no AVG warning for me
    It's a good article. Cut and paste it into your address bar.

    I doubt the hype.


    There seems to be a surge in the attack against the overweight.
    But the latest reports regarding a push for taxation of high fat foods,
    may be what's behind the insinuation that being fat is unhealthy.

    It's long been a fact, that weight does not have an effect on
    overall health; Skinny people -do not- live longer than heavy
    people.

    Skinny people have heart attacks just as heavy people do,
    and cancer knows no boundaries.

    The reason we have cancer, is due to our immune system
    failing to remove a cell that's no longer taking orders from
    our brain and body.

    It's not an "outside cell", or something totally foreign to our body.
    A cancer cell is a normal cell that's been damaged in a manner that
    prevents it from living like it once did, so it stays alive by the
    fermentation process (stealing glucose for survival).

    There can be millions and millions of things that can damage
    a cell, but if we don't figure out how to get our immune system
    to remove that erred cell, we will forever be fighting the ravages
    of cancer.

    It really, really is, that simple.
