Dear readers,

Did you know that eating blueberries reduces your risk of colon cancer

more than any pharmaceutical known to modern medicine? At the same time,

blueberries also contain natural medicine that lowers cholesterol better

than statin drugs. Blueberries offer truly amazing medicine (the

if they're organic).

Don't be fooled by the word " blueberry " in the name of the product,

" blueberries " are made from propylene glycol! (Antifreeze for RVs...)

Just because you think you see blueberries in a product, don't believe

it. Blueberries are easily faked with artificial coloring chemicals and

bits of dried sugar. Make sure the ingredients actually list

" blueberries " as a prominent ingredient.
