#5 I wouldn't be overly concerned. This group issues statements like this all the time. They're sort of the Al Gore of wanting people to become puritans without any religion.

Heck, Rush loves to talk about how many times these guys press releases turn out to be horribly bad non-science.

I do use granulated garlic for those who want it, th0ugh - no real substitute for that.

:-D
