- If you doubt the material that I quoted in my posting, you might care
- to contact its authors at the Physician's Committee for Responsible
- Medicine. This organisation claims a membership of over three thousand
- M.D.s, and they are better qualified to assess the medical facts than
- either Matt of I (Dawn I don't know).

- I can provide contact information for PCRM to anyone who wishes it.
