Junk Science

More proof that you cannot trust any science as FACT!

Today the science says.... Tomorrow the science will say the opposite... Just the way it is. Take it all with a grain of salt. Grandma said it best. Moderation is the key to a long and healthy life. That or my family just has really good genes?

I say..if "they" say its bad for ya, do it anyways as they are likely wrong and vice versa. It is getting absolutely ridiculous how wishy washy our so called research is.

As soon as I heard sex could kill (AIDS), I realized that sooner or later, "they" would determine that apple pie will, too.

What the article does not say is that vitamins A and E are fat-soluble, and it's easier to build up toxic levels of them than with other vitamins because they do not readily flush out of the body. They can cause great strain on the kidneys and liver.

So, yeah, take it all with a grain of salt; but keep in mind that too much salt can cause hypertension... ;-D

Candace, I remember reading a few years ago (in the eighties) that sperm contains an enzyme that causes cervical cancer. Not too long after, I read yet another article that said that sperm contains an enzyme that protects against cervical cancer. One cancels out the other. And there's that salt again...

Thus why the saying goes... "A GRAIN of salt" I would imagine... and why I mention "moderation is the key" Too much of anything is not good for you. As Candace points out, even too much sex can kill you....lol About this apple pie... would that be the killer generic off the shelf apple pie, or Mom's homemade apple pie that is going to be next on the "killer list"? As long as it is not my mom's home made Banana Cream pie all is good! Although my doc frowns on me eating either.... life is just to short not to enjoy the finer things in life... even if they do temporarily raise the sugar levels beyond exceptive levels for a bit.... oh well...

You know Tim, that if every thing they said regarding food was bad for us and will kill us was true,we wouldn't be here!! Hell. My motto is,if it doesn't eat me first,then I'm gonna eat it! It's called NATURE.

"Hell. My motto is,if it doesn't eat me first,then I'm gonna eat it! It's called NATURE."

Agreed... getting to be at the TOP of the food chain was not easy for us mere humans. I for one would like it to stay that way!

Tim: Your mom makes banana cream pie? *whimper* I need to be adopted...

Tim said...

To be honest, which I do try to be once in a blue moon... My mom has been unable to make her famous banana cream pies since she had a major stroke 2 years ago. I do have the recipe, but when I try to make them they just don't turn out as well nor as tasty as moms did. *sigh*...
