Alas the average American can hardly be considered<br>free range. We are reared in cubicles or on sofas and<br>fed a diet consisting mostly of high fructose corn<br>syrup and trans-fats chocked with preservatives. We<br>also tend to fortified with substances of dubious

Stuart, you do realize of course that most of those preservatives
are anti-oxidants... In fact I believe that there were some
longevity studies done in mice using BHT and/or BHA as dietary
supplements. And recent NMR studies as well as memory and
reasoning tests I believe have shown that caffeine is quite useful for
bumping the brain up a several degrees in its capabilities. I've
also seen literature with the argument that fructose is better than
glucose because you are limited by enzyme availability in the fructose
to glucose conversion path which would tend to keep blood glucose
levels lower and have anti-diabetic and presumably lifespan extending
consequences. Prozac presumably makes us less depressed and more
likely to resist becoming a food supply for others. Haven't you
watched *any* of the Matrix movies? Many of us (Americans)
aren't particularly keen on being used by anybody for anything (food
source, energy source, slave labor, etc. etc.).<br>
