font-family:Arial'>, and continue throughout the man’s nearly 6-year
shorter life expectancy. While women have a backup (XX) sex chromosome
pair, men have an XY pair. This means there is no genetic safety net, no
duplicate backup for gene defects such as hemophilia and colorblindness, and
that is why it is almost always men who have these infirmities. </span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>But this is just the
beginning. Males are far more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD; far more
likely to go to prison; far more likely to be victims of violent crime; far
more likely to accept, and die from, a dangerous occupation; infinitely more
likely to be drafted and consequently far more likely to die in service to
their country. Males are more likely to be separated from their children by
their job’s demands if they are married, and separated from their
children by the courts if they divorce. No wonder men die sooner from heart
attacks, and are much more likely (at all ages) to die from suicide.</span><span

<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Pretty grim stuff, and
these and more facts fill the books of Warren Farrell, PhD. Guys, if you
have not yet read <i>Why Men Are the Way They Are</i> (1) and<i> The Myth of
Male Power </i><span style='mso-bidi-font-style:italic'>(2)</span>, you want
to do so without delay. In spite of, or perhaps because of, all the
statistics that Farrell presents (hundreds of references back up his
statements), his books are not downers but are in fact very uplifting. He
offers many insights and much practical advice, which I have personally found
to be genuinely helpful. Here is reading that will make a guy feel better
right away, and be a better man, and a better person. This has to have real
benefits for the ladies in our lives, too.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>

Why? Men will stay away from committing to women even more. Children raised
without fathers are more likely to end up in prison. Companies will fear, not
respect, women, says Dr. Farrell, and, he thinks, will outsource, downsize and
avoid hiring them to avoid legal issues such as harassment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>* Lecithin is

is enough to gag a maggot. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>* Gradually increase the
quantity of nutritional yeast. It is an acquired taste, and too much too soon
can occasionally cause a skin rash in sensitive persons. No more than a
couple of tablespoons daily would be needed. </span><span

<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>* Calcium-magnesium

or amino acid <span class=SpellE>chelated</span> form.</span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>* Smell the wheat germ
and the oil to ensure that it is fresh. If it smells bitter or sour, it is .
. . <span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>and don't use it. </span><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>* Pure vitamin C powder
(ascorbic acid) is about 2,000 mg per 1/2 tsp. Do not take so much as would
contribute to loose bowels or gas. </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>

board meeting he was attending, corporate big shots were discussing the
possibility of issuing parachutes to passengers for use in case of
emergency. They mentioned that if parachutes were available, most
passengers would not be able to put them on in time, and those that did might
not have time or room to get to an exit. They concluded saying that of
the dozen or so passengers on a flight, probably only one would be saved. <st1:City

that disease and mortality could be reduced by at least 25% if people took
large daily quantities of essential vitamins. Let’s say he was way
off, and it the improvement was only 5%. If upwards of two million Americans
die each year, a one percent improvement will save 100,000 people. That is a
