Corpore sana,mens sana. Stimulants and ennervating substances in modern soft drinks

I believe that caffeine can keep Alzheimer's under control and limit the similarly  disastrous effects of unipolar depression. However, the fact for consumers of these soft drinks remains that they are sold as essentially pick-me-up beverages.

I think in particular of sodium benzoate extracted from molasses and castors,one set of these plants grown for animal nutrition by early Scottish settlers.

It is symptomatic of science gone mad that firms are putting the extracts of animal food products up for sale to humans as hidden laxative beverages. My dear sirs,that is one of the hidden marketing ploys of modern industry.

What sodium benzoate is designed to emulate is egg boast. 

I conclude that ingredient labelling is less than fulsome.

No compound substance comes alone. It forms part of a compound. The extraction of sodium benzoate from molasses was touted as an advance of the modern age. Perish modern industrial production if this is the result. 

Time to examine Progress,perhaps?

 Science is not the universal panacea which Marx in the 1860's thought that it would become in the lifetimes of future generations.

Some other points....

 It is notable that Engels,too,and Kieran Allen make the same mistake,Engels in his authoritarianism in production-note his essay On Authority -and Kieran Allen's contemporary articles on 'scientific farming".

Visage

 "See the holl'd but fearsome men, "Who speed with faces wan...." (Roddy Mc Corley) Look at the faces of people in our streets. They have often been poisoned by the cigarettes supplied by the Irish mafia. Their faces are grey from lead poisoning. REJECT the mafia! First they bring in contraband tobacco. Then,they bring in guns. Then they bring in Ecstasy,cocaine and heroin. Then they pimp chemically-dependent women who they have booked on drugs. Who are the mafia? People such as the Keenans and the Lynchs, former Provisionals.... Most of these people are known to the police but are tolerated because they give information to the police about left wingers and set up their former comrades for arrest and imprisonment in either conventional prisons or "special psychiatric hospitals".

A female medical psychopath and a clear case of a classic disorder namely paranoid schizophrenia

 My six years in psychiatric confinement are best explained by random priests,lawyers and members of the public and self-styled nationalist politicians supporting a psychiatrist's deadly embrace. In my case one of the scab W...s from Aghdrumsee was largely responsible. He was Michelle  Gildernew's rapporteur. W.was the point of contact for information being fed back to the police on a republican party's behalf.  That information led on to a repeated series of police arrests and psychiatric detentions. For years W. and L. spent their free time making up stories and telling lies to keep themselves in employment. Their behaviour was typical of the nationalist lickspittle. W.'s stories that I took drugs reached a wicked old woman doctor,Cody. She and PSNI Chief Inspector Roy Robinson had me arrested and imprisoned for six years. This police -informer pathology is the unreal world of policing and medicine which we have in Northern Ireland. Gangsters in politics,in the police...

Mental hygiene

To maintain mental hygiene and good moral health,it is essential for many of us to limit the reach of the female voice. It is often tinged with hysteria and hysterical overtones due to sociogenetic factors. Some suggestions. Turn off BBC broadcasts and throw the products of agitated female minds in the bin. Avoid menstruating, menopausal and post-menopausal old women like the plague. Turn off radio broadcasts of screeching women pleading for attention or jilted John types trying to sing. Say to women like Michelle Gildernew and Michelle O Neill,"Bi I do thost,a bhean uasail." .... Learn the responses for unwanted house callers and midnight visitors. .... ABOVE ALL, If you want to keep your sanity in our wretched country,stop talking to drunks and drug addicts and similar riff-raff. Let other people talk to you first if they want to talk. Since doctors took over the running of the spy system,there are hundreds of thousands of narks and others who give information to the police...
