"All things are poisons.  It is simply the dose that distinguishes between a
poison and a remedy." -Paracelsus

"Oats -- a grain which in England sustains the horses, and in
Scotland, the men." -- Johnson

"It was pleasant to me to find that 'oats,' the 'food of horses,' were
so much used as the food of the people in Johnson's own town." --
Boswell

"And where will you find such horses, and such men?" -- Anonymous

>> Well, I've done a little research, and what I've discovered should make
>anyone think twice before eating that incredibly mind-boggling and oh so
>dangerous food: Bread!
>
>> 1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread eaters.
>
>> 2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households
>score below average on standardized tests.
>
>> 3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home,
>the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates
>were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as
>typhoid, yellow fever and influenza ravaged whole nations.
>
>> 4. More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours
of
>eating bread.
>
>> 5. Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven that
>as little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The
>average American eats more bread than that in one month!
>
>> 6. Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low occurrence
>of radiation poisoning, skin cancer, food poisoning and octogenarians.
>
>> 7. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and
>given only water to eat begged for bread after only two days.
>
>> 8. Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to "harder"
>items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter and even cold cuts.
>
>> 9. Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more
>than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body
>being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy,
>gooey bread-pudding person.
>
>> 10. Newborn babies can choke on bread.
>
>> 11. Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit!
That
>kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute.
>
>> 12. Most American bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between
>significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling.
