***THE DANGER OF EATING BREAD


A recent newspaper headline read, "Smell of baked bread may be health
hazard." The article went on to describe the dangers of the smell of baking
bread. The main danger, apparently, is that the organic components of this
aroma may break down ozone. Could there be more to bread than we think?
Here's what we know...


1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread eaters.


2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households
score below average on standardized tests.


3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the
average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were
unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as
typhoid, yellow fever and influenza ravaged whole nations.


4. More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of
eating bread.


5. Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven that as
little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The average
person eats more bread than that in one month!


7. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and
given only water to eat begged for bread after only two days.


Now, you may think twice before making that next peanut butter and jelly
sandwich.
