That's what I mean by "stock quotes you'd expect". But ask about
anything other than artery clogging and scant few other items and you
get bupkis.

I asked my doctor, who I have a lot of faith in, some questions
regarding vitamin E and something else. I've forgotten now. He said
"I don't know. For every frail result there's another frail conflicting
result. Look, you don't come to me for vitamin stuff. I can't do
that. I can send you a search on it and you can sort through it if you
like." Relative to another such issue (maybe zinc for colds) I said
sure, and he provided me some confused and conflicting information, all
very authoritative looking.

I don't like habaneros, except as a dance rhythm or a citizen of
Havana. I do like Brazilian malaguetta's though. Sharp and incisive
but gone in a reasonable time.
