Agreed that Mercola is now in the business of also selling products with his website....the transition from purity to commerciality was a little hard to take, but I remain convinced that he has our best interests at heart and that he would not promote a product that he does not fully believe in for good scientific reasons. He also tends to be 2-5 years ahead of everybody else when it comes to noticing trends or predicting that certain products or practices may not be as good/bad for us as previously thought. I take everything with a grain of salt---you have to these days---and I have a great deal of respect for this particular doc.
Thinking of BHA and BHT---OK, so they're antioxidants, synthetic, could be good for you in that antioxidant way....and yet there are natural antioxidants out there, like what's in fruit, so why bother eating synthetic ones? I guess I side with him in that department too. All else being equal, I'll choose a food that we evolved with over a supplement that was cooked up in a lab.
