SHOW ME THE FACTS!

I think I've been driving my local friends and even my SHS friends, crazy with all my questions. I am a "show me the facts" type of person. I used to think I was overy skeptical but after all my recent studies on spiritual gifts I see that this is a classic trait of a person with the gift of teaching. I nearly pegged the test so it would stand to reason that I'd be a fairly "show me" type of person. I love to research. I am slow to jump on band wagons and want to see the facts before making decisions. I'm very concerend with accuracy and truth. Poor Adrienne has probably taken the brunt of my questions because I know she knows me well enough not to get offended when I say "WHY - that makes no sense". {bg}

Today I was happy to see a few links that Melody (local friend) sent me on various health related issues. For your reading pleasure (in case you are a facts gatherer too):

I've been explaining to a few that I don't have a thing against organic but I have a big "beef" with companies that add a lot of synthetic preservatives to foods and call themselves "organic". I do look for the green organic label but these days I also read the ingredients list and worry more about that than the organic label. It was timely that Melody would send this link on organic standards.

Here's on the decades old debate on margarine and butter. Ever wondered what "corn syrup" was and if it was good or bad for you?
