Sadly, I think most people do not care what is in their food. I have a
friend who at times will be careful with certain aspects of what she is
eating. Sometimes she will focus on food being high fiber. Other times she
will focus on the sodium. She can have super high BP and I think she is one
of the few that sodium does affect. She once at a single slice of a bacon
pizza and bloated up like a stuck whale! For a while she was focusing on
low fat. But she doesn't like to cook so often relies on prepared foods.
My mom will sometimes do the same. But overall she hasn't a clue.

The other day, she tried to pawn off some vitamins on me that my dad used to
take but for whatever reason does not now. There were Kirkland Senior. I
told her I could not take them because I am avoiding iron and copper. I
have read countless studies recently linking them to dementia. And I know
that my mom takes a multi that has no copper or iron. Recommended by her
Dr.

Then a few days later, she told me to pick her up some Ocuvite at Costco.
But I decided to go to the Ocuvite website because I know that they make an
50+ formula that I thought might be better for us. I was shocked to see
that not only did it contain fish oil (which I can not have) but also a
pretty high dose of copper! So I then looked up the kind that Costco sells.
No fish oil but copper! Much smaller amount though. So I called her and
told her this. And she was like... Ohhhhhh! I did not know this! Oh
well. I've been taking them, so I guess I'll keep on taking them! Lots of
people are like that. They say they are avoiding something when they really
are not. I gave her the rest of my Ocuvite and will go back to using the
eye vitamins from Swanson. They will cost a little more but that's fine by
me.

Don't really know about the wine since I no longer drink it.
