neutral Pilar MegĂ­as: Si es traducciĂłn mĂ©dica, debe evitarse el uso de la forma personal (consumimos*). AdemĂĄs, en este caso "la misma" es una expresiĂłn incorrecta. DeberĂ­a ser "Ă©sta actĂșa"

  -> UsĂ© consumimos porque todos somos seres humanos. Con respecto a Ă©sta,sĂ­, suena mejor. Gracias por tu comentario.
