This is about as good a place to ask this as any I've seen. My mother
and father in law are now Shaklee distributors, and a deluge of
vitamins and Heaven knows what else has started. I've read and am
familiar with say, Adele Davis, but now I'me getting a fair amount
of what strikes me as downright pseudoscientific craziness from them
about what to do for ..... (you name it). Some of the more recent stuff
I've been reading on nutritional research makes me worry a little about
where they're getting the data they're peddling. My wife and I are ,in
fact, practicing very good nutrition (balanced proteins, little meat,
a little wine to aid the digestion), etc. so it's not as if we're in
great trouble. I think that for my folks, vitamins are a kind of vaccine
against the world and its toxins as they seen themselves as under a
sort of seige (there are some religious componenets to this as well).

Any of you ever encounter this sort of thing? Tell me about it. I am
worried about them, but also afraid that the peripheral parts of the
arguments will wind up polarizing me away from the things that I should
be paying attention to.

Pass this along to anyone you'd know, please....
