Applying Common Sense

Applying Common Sense

I find it interesting that in this day and age the masses can still be swayed by sensationalistic journalism. Case in point, the recent reporting of the "dirty dozen" in the produce section of any grocery store, which included most, if not all, of the more popular fruits and veggies. That bit of scare tactic must have worked so well that they are now reporting on the "dirty dozen" of the supplement world, listing off twelve of the more common health supplements used by the general public. The little known factor that doesn't seem to come up in either of these two articles is that in nearly every case any complications or illness brought on during the use or consumption of either the twelve listed produce items or the twelve supplements was due to the mishandling or misuse of the consumer. Common sense plays a major role in everything we do; if we don't apply it, we will more than likely pay the consequences. Common sense tells us that we need to wash all fresh produce before serving. Common sense also tells us to carefully follow package instructions, and if it says made in China, think twice before using or consuming.
