What I find interesting is that all this comes from following the links on Rosemary The Blue's website that she attempts to use to prove the truth of her claims. But if the infomation is actually read, disproves them and makes her a rare anomoly without a clue , quoting people without a clue who sometimes admit they don't have one in their papers, rather than a representative of risk.
Then the FDA comes down on CS with absolutly no cohesive evidence that they have a clue, like a black pot calling a green kettle blue as a reason to claim that cooking water in hubcaps is dangerous because steam can burn you. ie: We don't have a clue and can't admit that we don't for political reasons even though the evidence we do have is completely inconclusive and stated to be so in those very same papers... [said as quickly and inaudibly as possible]... so-you-can't-have-one-either-but-you-must. and We won't listen to anything that doesn't agree with what we don't know about the subject. The same line they use for medical marijuana despite its centuries old [no, milleniums old] and well documented history. I must be easily amazed.
