...real difficulty with sustaining a useful connection with nature, though, comes from the fact that nature does not seek to make a connection with us. It is a hard truth to swallow, but nature does not care if we live or die. We cannot survive without the oceans, for example, but they can do just fine without us.

There is no need, according to the report released Tuesday, for most people to take major doses of antioxidants, or vitamins C and E - we should stick to the Recommended Daily Allowance, because there is little or no evidence, after all, that large doses of antioxidants prevent chronic disease. Predictably, the academy recommends the natural intake of antioxidants; instead of gulping down a few pills, everyone should concentrate on eating the fruits...
