To think that life is meant to be free of troubles or concerns is a wrong perception of the truth and reality. So many people who are chasing happiness and longevity are pursuing an empty dream of something that does not exist in this life. This produces frustration and the desire to blame other people and other things for all our troubles. The key to happiness and long life is not the absence of difficulties, but the proper attitude and response towards them.
One of the most renowned biologists of the nineteenth century, Alfred Russel Wallace shares credit with Charles Darwin for developing the theory of evolution by natural selection.

The Refusers
Comment: Here’s a new study saying people mistakenly assume that FDA approval means drugs are extremely effective and lack serious side effects. But according to a study author, FDA approval only means ‘the benefits are judged to be greater than the harms.’

Excerpts:
Milk is truly one of the oldest, simplest whole foods – and we certainly drink a lot of it. According to the USDA, Americans consumed an average of 1.8 cups of dairy per person, per day in 2005.

Right now raw milk, milk taken directly from cows, is illegal.
Farmers can be fined, taken to court and even jailed for selling a product to willing consumers.
Does that make any sense to you? Me neither.
Right now is the time for us to change this. Senate Bill 108 would legalize […]

Very few things in life are determined as "true" strictly through the scientific method. Most of the time we rely upon credible testimony. There are many things we base our lives on today as truth that are not learned through scientific discovery. If you want to prove your birth, for example, you produce a birth certificate which is based on testimony, usually the testimony of a physician or person who helped your mother with your delivery. If you want to prove your marriage, you produce a marriage certificate, which is based on testimony, usually the testimony of the person officiating your wedding ceremony, etc. These are examples of the many things we hold true that can NOT be proven through scientific discovery.
