Neal, I have to chime in. I read that 'article' too--I don't trust anything Tara Parker Pope 'reports' on that NY Times blog. After browsing through it for the past couple of years, I concluded that she is all for maintaining the status quo (or her editors are). I would even guess, after reading her comments, that she only has a degree in communications or something similar, and knows very little about health and/or research standards.
I agree though, with Blueaberry's stance. I don't think one can substitute the magic of natural biology by isolating chemicals into a hardened dead pill. Nutrients are created by the divine to be consumed as they are integrated with the other fibers, nutrients, and chlorafill. I've recently come to this conclusion and have been drinking 'green smoothies'.
But yeah, I can't trust the NY Times at all, or any other media outlet. They all have their political agenda behind what they report. That's why when I read news, I look at all orgs. to enable myself to assess all angles of a topic (Fox News too-gasp!!)
