Does anyone wonder why polar bear liver is reputed to be toxic? I remember
reading somewhere that the toxicity has to do with the HUGE amount of
vitamin A the liver contains. Think about it. Vitamin A is supposed to be
good for eyesight...to prevent eyestrain, and a whole host of other things
optical. The polar bear has to look at a LOT of WHITE SNOW. So the bear
needs the vitamin A; and I need to look at something besides WHITE all day
long! When I design a website, I use neutrals (beiges, grays, grayed
pastels, 'eggshell' pastels).
Yours for Better Vision,
Melody
