Actimel, sold in the U.S. as DanActive, which claims to strengthen the body's natural defense system with Lactobacillus casei, has sales of more than $1.4 billion...
...Some believe the administration should act as our parental figures, knowing what’s best because we don’t have the foresight or wisdom yet to decide. I disagree. When I once refused to eat broccoli, my mother didn’t say: “eat it because I say so.” Instead, she discussed with me the pros and cons of broccoli-eating. Now I love that delicious fibrous vegetable...
