Really, Before you say anything in net.med that is intended as information you should at least be qualified first. Have you ever heard of Biochemistry, the Krebs Cycle? Have you ever had a Biology course before? in a college? in high school? in grammer school? I would like to think that this news group could be a source of GOOD information and discussion about current topics in medicine. IF YOU DON'T KNOW SOMETHING, ASK. MAYBE SOMEBODY KNOWS AN ANSWER, AT LEAST A REASONABLE ANSWER. JUST DON'T TAKE A POSITION OF AUTHORITY IN THIS NEWS GROUP UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. "Nutrition Puzzle Solved" was and still is the biggest bag of garbage I have ever read. -- Carter Bullard ICS, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta GA 30332 CSNet:Carter @ Gatech ARPA:Carter.Gatech @ CSNet-relay.arpa uucp:...!{akgua,allegra,amd,ihnp4,hplabs,seismo,ut-ngp}!gatech!carter
