So far as I could discern, neither of them have anything other than myth to go on, in an attempt to explain away the terminology.<br /><br />But if you found something in their writing that is a valid and credible, verifiable source that does seriously document such a practice, please produce it.<br /><br />If it was as common as it is asserted to have been,then it shouldn't be too hard to do that.<br /><br />You haven't provided CREDIBLE valid sources for any of your other answers either.<br /><br />You are not well read, and you mistakenly rely on your gunloon heroes without fact checking them.<br /><br />Tsk tsk-- mistake on your part.

It is about understanding risk taking in behavior.<br /><br />I found it very similar to studies in neuro-economics which have tracked the patterns of risk taking in financial / investment transactions as it relates to testosterone levels.<br /><br />http://www.prospecttheory.net/2008/04/neuroeconomics-testosterone-and-trading.html<br /><br />Studying how we engage in risk is a legitimate separate area from vitamins. This appears clearly to be about studying risk,not some government conspiracy relating to vitamins.<br /><br />I would further point out to you that there is a very legitimate concern that people too often believe more is better and fail to understand that sometimes more is dangerous.dog gonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151618317070878675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-45890911697645596392011-12-13T20:44:21.629+01:002011-12-13T20:44:21.629+01:00As I said, a study to show that people are too stu...As I said, a study to show that people are too stupid to responsibly take vitamins so the government has to control how you get them.
