And that number is up from just eight foods in 2008. […]

So what’s the big deal? In short, too many unanswered questions. In 2012, the FDA released a draft revealing its many safety concerns about nanoparticles in food. Specifically, they worry that nanoparticles alter the bioavailability, or how much your body can absorb of a substance, and may cause unforeseen safety or health issues that aren’t present in traditionally manufactured foods. …

I really hated that III movie, TBH. So much other stuff out of the comic books to mine; I thought that they were going to do more of it after the Phantom Zone criminals appeared in II. (Brainiac? Bizarro? Darkseid? Mr. Mxyzptlk, even??)

If you dont know that someone is there because it has no discernible effect, then it is probably not worth worrying about. It is not until someone TELLS you its there that people start worrying about things. For example, if someone placed a cookie on a toilet seat and then put it into a cookie jar, no one would ever be able to tell. If you tell them a cookie in that jar was on a toilet seat they would throw all the cookies away.

Lots of folks take colloidal silver.

Some folks overdo it, though.

In the olden days they used to add powdered chalk to milk and flour.

Titanium Dioxide? That’s mighty white of them! (subtle artist joke)
