73. My grandson is high functioning
so I believe he will be okay. He DOES march to his own drummer, though, and is inappropriate at times.

Some in this thread believe that we think that pharmaceutical companies set out to deliberately harm us. I don't think we believe that at all. What I believe, and probably what most of us believe, is that all companies want to make profits. What happens, therefore, is that a company will use the most inexpensive methods and ingredients possible in order to increase their profits. If they use something that causes harm, then they deny and do all they can to avoid responsibility. In fact, there is a long history of this. It would be very naive to believe that large corporations put their customers' interests above all else, as some seem to do.

Take our food supply, for instance. The main reason corporations load foods with unpronounceable chemicals is that it is cheaper than using real food and real seasonings and spices.
