PS Chrishoney, I'd rather be dramatic and risk averse than hospitalised. Actual risks, by their very nature are hard to quantify, and often wrongly stated on the basis of clinical studies that can be and sometimes are skewed. That's why drugs get withdrawn. I worked for a pharmaceutical for 20 years and saw several drugs get withdrawn due to unforeseen adverse effects.

I understand, I have to be very cognizant of possible drug reactions and side effects on a daily basis in my 'day job.' However, overstating the case for caution (which is WAY warranted as regards the topic of this thread) often has the opposite effect--folks become inured to the real importance of the message by too much exposure to hyperbole. I would rather deal with facts and make risk assessments based on those, than on emotional arguments. Just my preference I guess.
