Sheldon,
Since you are the author of "Toxic Sludge Is Good
For You", I wonder
what your considered opinion is of hormesis. Too
much arsenic will kill
you, but does that mean the less the better?
Advocates of the hormesis
theory say that the optimum amount of arsenic and
some other stuff is
significantly greater than zero.
Kind of like, a no-salt diet is bad for you, because
that leads to
dehydration or something (I don't know the language
of science as well
as you). But too much salt is bad, too.
Or, like, not enough water and you die of thirst,
but drinking gallons
and gallons of can kill ya.
Before I start [[Hormesis]], I'd like to hear from
someone we can trust:
an expert.

I'm sure you're aware that hormesis is still largely
unproven.
