19. Niacinamide fights candida.

20. Statins can cause numb hands/feet. Amongst a long list of other problems.

23. Soy beats up on your thyroid and can cause autoimmune thyroid disease.

24. A vitamin A deficiency causes thyroid problems.

25. Most canola is GMO. And even organic canola is bad for you. Just say "no."

26. Fluoride is more toxic than lead.

34. Statin drugs often cause diabetes. And they don't do a doggone thing to prevent heart disease.

35. Magnesium oxide's pretty much a waste of money because your body can't absorb it. Magnesium citrate is a better choice.

39. "Reconstituted juices" are often fluoridated. "Reconstituted" means adding water to concentrate; if the water's fluoridated, as much of the water in the U.S. is, that's why.

40. Nutritional levels in spinach fell 60% from 1941 to 1979. Then, since the news was so bad, they seem to have stopped testing.
