Shame on the girl scouts. Does fundraising have to take a higher priority than human health? At least the girl scouts has the courage to admit the truth about this ingredient. Right on their website, in the FAQs on Girl Scout cookies, they openly state, "...in fact, trans fats are not a healthier choice than saturated fats." Then why do they continue to use the ingredient?

She did fine one-on-one but needed to be with other children her age. The teacher was wonderful about working with us, nothing like the first-grade teacher. She felt Shaina had learning difficulties and was frustrated because she could not work to her ability, so we took her advice and had Shaina tested for learning disabilities.

Vioxx makes terrorists look like girl scouts. We also see dangerous side effects in statin drugs, which, by the way, produce effects on the nervous system that are in some ways similar to mercury poisoning. So while the FDA and nutritional supplement critics are trying to get you to focus on these imported products, they are ignoring the much bigger picture, which is that virtually all popular prescription drugs are made with dangerous chemical compounds that threaten the health of the American public. And those are being widely consumed right now.
