This looks to be a better use of corn than (a) the truly goofy idea of making it the transportation fuel of the future (a.k.a., "ethanol") and (b) the patently evil idea of using it to make genetically engineered Frankensweetener (a.k.a., "high-fructose corn syrup") . . .

But the big question at the dawn of the early-21st century is when the government will release more of the data gleaned from the ongoing top secret research being done on the combination of moonshine, wacky-backy, opium, and magic mushrooms . . .

It is not a coincidence that the people of this planet discovered these things long before anyone had the idea for the system we now colloquially call "science", and while there certainly are many ways to abuse anything, when scientists are able to extract their heads from their arses and to focus on looking for useful bits of information no matter how illogical or puzzling the bits of information might appear to be, intuition strongly suggests there are a lot more clues to sensible solutions which do not require people constantly to be zonked . . .

And regarding additional research, the facts of the matter are (a) that a significant number of the 50 million American citizens who currently have no health care coverage have been doing a virtual festival of similar experiments and (b) that including these folks in Medicare with no co-pays, regardless of age, is an excellent way for researchers to have a cornucopia of data on all the things the sneaky weasels running our government and pharmaceutical companies simply do not want traditional medical doctors and their patients to know . . .

And it is entirely possible that all the so-called "worthless homeless people" who live in cardboard boxes underneath bridges and devote most of their waking time to discovering new ways to alter their consciousness actually are privy to surreal but nevertheless state-of-the-art treatments for what otherwise are vastly gnarly diseases with outcomes which are considerably worse than living in a cardboard box underneath a bridge and being zonked all the time . . .

Or perhaps not . . .

Yet another fact is that the best way to determine the correct answers is to ask the right questions, really . . .

Really!

For many people, all those substances--which curiously derive from natural plants that are indigenous to this planet--are highly dangerous and best avoided, but it appears to be the case for some folks that those substances have benefits which are more significant than any of the potentially adverse side effects . . .

When the folks who arbitrarily define these substances to be "illegal" also appear to have no qualms about arbitrarily defining pizza served in public school cafeterias as "vegetables", I think it is time (a) to review a few of the myths, superstitions, and patently ignorant beliefs that guide entirely too many of our dimwitted "leaders" and (b) to shine the light of common sense and science toward the goal of discovering facts, for sure . . .

For sure! :-o

What facts, as a person who has lived for some 77 years, facts are what the prosecutor says they are. Like a dog barking is the time of someones death. This was a fact presented in a Court of law not withstanding that the dog refused to tell what he knew. I mean a scientist or a doctor can state that this or that is a fact and he has prosecutorial believability. We give these people too much authority, Koop said cigarettes will kill you and cause every other ailment known to man, but he refused to issue a death certificate listing cigarettes as the cause of death. It was contributary even if you didn't smoke, caused by that smoker down the street. But we believed him and three hundred years of smoking went down the drain. The Indians smoked and they killed a lot of settlers, albeit with a bow and arrow. maybe it was the smoke left over on the arrow from his smoking that done them in and not the actual arrow. You can make a case for anything out of whole cloth if you can get a passel of people to believe you. Illegal is a code word for getting the money out of your pocket into someones elses pocket. It is usually used for any thing short of hitting your neighbor in the head with a shovel for blowing smoke into your yard. It then becomes a felony which involves three or four more pockets which need filling before you pay the fine. Your neighbor is left with nothing more than a headache unless he can find a charlatan who will take your dog and horse for his trouble. Your neighbor will end up with the dog, the soliciter will get the horse. It doesn't make any difference in what you prefer, the politicians will find a way to make it illegal or taxable, they don't give a damn on whether you live or die or have you not heard of the high cost of putting you away in a plot of ground or being cremated at half the cost.

So will wearing a brassiere made of lead. That will keep out the lethal electromagnetic waves from bombarding the soft tissue of the breast, but it wouldn't do anything to protect a woman from vaginal cancer. Breast cancer has increased in rate of incidence directly in lockstep with the amount of radiation women are exposed to because of all the electronic means of communication in vogue today. Great grandma died of consumption or being run over by a horse and buggy but rarely if ever was she beset with breast cancer. They won't publish, they won't give you, they don't even keep records involving the coincidence of all cancers relating to the increase in electronic communication of all kinds. Any doctor mentioning a correlation in the two will be stripped of his license and confined to a loony facility forthwith. The truth is the difference between a three trillion dollar a year industry and that lying disqualified psudo quack. Even trees know that electromagnetic propagation is harmful, next time you drive down a street with trees and see electric lines running the same way, watch how the branches on that tree will grow away from those electric lines.

NC I like your way of thinking I've been trying to tell people something similar for years now.

Just remember cancer cells grow faster on sugar products,as alcohol and sugar are part of the same metabolism process. High-fructose corn sugar has now been established as the leader in cancer cell growth.

yes ! there is nothing better than an intoxicated breast to hang out with.

Here we go with the contradictory mice research again. Sigh...............................

I'll drink to that...or them...

Drink, don't drink, drink, don't drink, now it's drink. Tomorrow they will again say not to drink.

Breast cancer is preventable and in most cases reversible. Check out this non commercial, science based website on the topic of breast cancer reversal through diet.

Every time I've changed Gynecologists, I filled out the dreaded medical history forms knowing the reaction my new doctor will have once she/he sees that both my grandmothers had breast cancer.

I wish they'd stop publishing these garbage-science studies. A headline like this serves no purpose and forcing mice to drink alcohol spiked water is a bit different than suggesting women with breast cancer drink more. The authors of these articles should consider how irresonsible they're being by reporting this crap when it currently has no bearing on human trials or treatments.
