#1 rule
Listen to those who don't have an agenda and try to jerk you around with a
fear handle.
"Splenda" has an agenda. The handle... fear of fat.  So does any "other
side" of any issue.

#2 rule
 Everything is relative. 1% is not 1000%
"Natural" things can kill you just as fast as a designed and engineered
poison.
You eat and breathe toxins every day you live.
