Sorry to change the subject, but I just picked up a book called Predictably Irrational. I wonder if you've read it? I've just started reading it, but it's pretty interesting so far. I know that in general, people love to believe that they are logical, rational beings, but even (maybe especially?) children can see by observing adults, that this is not so. Anyway, the connection I'm making is that "health" is a mysterious thing and something that most adults become increasingly concerned with over time, but feel somewhat powerless to "win" against, which really seems to be the selling point of vitamins, minerals and extracts.
