How would you take care of a classic?

There are fuel additives we can use to keep our cars burning cleaner and preserve engines.

No fuel additives should be used. They are unnatural. Gas is all that is required.

We should use optimal quality of gas. Cheap gas causes “pinging” which is hard on the engine.

The quality of the gas is irrelevant. Anything that the motor will burn is adequate.

We should take our car in for preventive maintenance before anything breaks.

Preventive maintenance? This is silly! Wait until something breaks, then have the car towed in so the mechanic can really tell what is wrong.

Fast food (low Zn) is bad for you.

• Fast food = high energy density = low essential micronutrient density, ESPECIALLY ZINC

• Antioxidant processes are dependent on Zinc• Fast food = severe decrease in antioxidant

vitamins and zinc, correlating with inflammation in testicular tissue – with underdevelopment of testicular tissue and decreased testosterone levels

Special needs - Zinc

• Low Zinc- associated with low testosterone– Per USDA, 60% of US men between 20 – 49

years of age do not get enough.– N.B.: Do not supplement with > 50 mg daily (can

interfere with Cu+ metabolism)• Tsai, E.C., Boyko, E.J., Leonetti, D.L., & Fujimoto,
