Then there are the over paid egg heads sponsored to right studies to produce the death knell of the week. And this week oily fish yup omega 3 is now officially no good for you. ****** Ive been eating the stuff for years oily fish and salad, love the stuff. Despite having the heart of a lion I've been wasting my time. All the years I've been doing my bit to keep the ticker well oiled and now some poncey egg head in a white coat lacking vitamin D says I've been wasting my time. he could have told me forty years ago! But then water , salt , newspapers , breathing was bad for you. I just wish they had said so then and I could have had my fill of crap food, loaded with junk. By now I could have been clinically obese with my own council go kart complete with popemobile for me to drive it into, I could be claiming all sorts of benefits off the raddish and still have had the heart of a lion albeit a dead one.
BJ..I think you have to console yourself with the fact that you are still here...So what you are doing has to be the right thing for you.
( We are all individuals, so the one size fits all approach is wrong straight away)
I take absolutely no notice of research because I know it(in the main) is flawed.

You have to ask yourself WHO did the research? (did they have a point to prove or a product to sell?).
WHY was it done?
HOW was it done...meaning what was the criteria for inclusion into the study(the criteria will ultimately affect the result, as will the exclusion of some participants).

Way back in the 70's we were told to avoid fat...especially butter....we were advised to avoid dairy products and eggs.
Now we are told that had we consumed the natural products then the level of type 2 diabetes may not have burgeoned in the way that it has.

What is an expert anyway. It is usually someone who has invested themselves with this titler because they feel their university education permits it.
In my book X marks the spot and a spurt is a drip under pressure.

I will continue to eat what i like....when I like, but in moderation.
I know this is the right way to go about things...well, it IS for me.
