I notice many of my fellow Americans admit there are problems with the US health care system-but they go on to add that the health care system in the US is 'superior' to all other health care systems on earth. Whaaat? I don't have health care-neither do 90% of my friends- I can't afford it- how is that superior to what they have in parts of Europe, where most citizens have coverage?

But i recently witnessed my friend get into a serious accident, and he suffered a serious head injury, the kind i will likely assess as an EMT, and it has really affected me, does anyone think becoming an EMT is a bad idea?

Will it remove tripple the fat?

The information on the label is careful not to answer those questions, to prevent lawsuit. But many want to know. Think about it, single dose removes one third the fat of what one eats, a regular rx dose removes more, so that means that all one has to do is adjust the pills to accomodate the binge, right? I expect some anwers that willt ell me to eat right, I do and I am not dieting in any way, I am just interested in the entire thing.

I bought some aspirin the other week by accident. I wasn't looking at what I was putting in the basket. I normally buy ibruprofen for my gammy foot and all those packets clearly state that they are for the 'effective relief of pain' and tells you what kinds of pain it's effective on.

But this box of aspirin talks about preventing heart attacks but nothing about relieving pain. Will I be safe taking a couple of aspirin to try to stop my foot from hurting?

No study done on humans has shown any such thing, in fact, a massive study done on humans trying to see if there is any correlation between aspartame consumption and cancer, MS, and lupus found that it has absolutely nothing to do with getting those diseases. Everyone keeps going off of mice studies, when mice have different metabolisms than humans and the mice are given proportionally far more aspartame than humans would consume. Many substances are carcinogenic and mutagenic when in huge quantities like the ones given to mice, but are fine in moderation. So, why do people keep continuing the myth that consuming normal amounts of aspartame causes nasty diseases, when there is no statistically significant link going on?
