Make sure that you are avoiding the following liver damaging things--Acetiminophen, ibuprophen, splenda or any sucralose, and especially avoid aspartame it becomes a neurotoxin at temperatures above 85 degrees fahrenheit--obviously your body temperature is higher than this so do not ingest these poisons. Get your omega-3 fatty acids that will also help the liver function optimally.

huskyguy said:You actually trust the FDA? Who passed vioxx for general use and then found out later that it was so deadly--big drug companies own the FDA. Our food is poisoned by fake additives, and that is not overblown, money interests control all of these so called protective agencies.
im probablly the king of diet soft drink users . i drink roughly 4-6 cases a week of diet mountain dew and have for years and my liver values have always been fine except after takeing a lot of tylenol due to the flu .huskyguy said:You actually trust the FDA?

huskyguy said:You are right to be skeptical on both sides, but a case in point is ephedra--it was banned because there were not any money interests defending its use--the stock market was not affected at all when ephedra was taken off the market--when vioxx was taken off the market Merck lost billions of dollars in one day. What would be the effect if some of these poisons were taken off the market--huge economic losses so the FDA does not touch it because of too much money behind these poisons. Eating naturally is always going to be better than eating chemically derived flavors or pain(disguising drugs). It is a rare case when the govt, or big business has the common man's interests at heart--they are looking at a bigger picture and that is economic growth regardless of individual health. The FDA has not been a respectable organization for decades. Keep on being skeptical but follow the money and that is where the corruption usually is.
