Meanwhile that speculative paper confuses many manipulated by spin. The point remains - most only believe the first thing they are told. Never demand that always required reasons why - with numbers. Most are that easily manipulated expecially by the rich who can now spend as much as they want to tell the naive how to think. The Supreme Court says it is good that the rich have much more free speech than anyone else. More people can now believe Jenny McCarthy.

Wrong, Dannon lost a class action suit for $56 million to the FDA and 39 states for making overblown claims, Dannon products with probotics would keep kids from getting colds/flu and they would miss less school.
They paid $35 million in 2008 for the same thing.
