Nutmeg & Formaldehyde

Did your mother keep nutmeg in her kitchen? Mine did. Thanksgiving and Christmas meant custard pie for my father. Looking at the recipe for these pies, you'll see that most call for 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg. That's fine if you're baking a pie meant for six or eight people, but did you know that from two to three teaspoons of nutmeg consumed at one sitting can be fatal? If you're wondering why anyone would ingest such an amount, nutmeg has hallucinogenic properties.

Yes, it's all a matter of amount - just like formaldehyde. Take a good look at the graphic above. Not giving up custard pies or pears, are you?

So the next time anyone makes ignorant remarks about "embalming fluid" being in the vaccines your children take, be sure to mention nutmeg and pears. You might want to throw in that 5,000 milligram teaspoon compared with the .8 milligram of total formaldehyde in vaccines. Just stand back in case they spit as they sputter.
