Confused? You Should Be!

It has recently been reported in the Media that sunflower seed oil and soya bean oil is not healthy if heated to smoking point and eaten to excess .
Not so Olive oil. Now, after years of avoiding lard and being told it causes ‘Hardening of the arteries, it seems it is better than sunflower seed oil especialy for frying. We all know that anything fried or roasted in lard, is much tastier then cooked on oil. Such contradictory advice.
Researched By Martin Gootveld, Professor of bio analytical chemistry, at De Montfield University Leicester
D Mail July 2015.

Today in the D Express the heading on page 9 reads: How lounging in the sun could stop heart attacks, By Cardiologist, Dr Francisco Lopez-Jimenez Mayo Clinic Minnesota U S A

Previously for years, we have been warned to avoid the sun and cover up with sun- screen if going out, or we will end up looking like wrinkled prune.

Well, I know many men all ages up to 95 and at the first sight of the sun, they go topless without any sunscreen, and often as nature intended in the privacy of their own back garden.
They all look fit and healthy sans wrinkles.

My friend who’s 70 years young and a fine figure of a man, thinks he is safe sunbathing behind a bush in his garden!
His neighbour Maggie next door has bought a telescope…and she is not looking a the stars!!

Hope she doesn’t go blind!

Re: Confused? You Should Be!

It's always been the same Azure. After us doing things for years that we've been told are healthy and beneficial to us, the 'experts' suddenly do further research and announce the opposite.

Red wine is good/bad
Vitamin supplements good/useless
Coffee bad/good
Sunshine good then bad
Now its bacon/sausages bad.

It goes on and on. I think we can only decide for ourselves, and hope most things in moderation won't do much harm.

It's enough to drive you to drink, I just don't pay any attention to these experts anymore Azure, they are losing credibility by the day, it's just a big mad rush for them to have their 'paper' published and have their name seen in the hope that they will land a cushy job for life.

Re: Confused? You Should Be!

I really hate all those old wives tales about health. I'm often told that I look much younger than my age. I usually reply that I put it down to three things. Good red wine, single malt Scotch whiskey and bad women.

When I told my wife that, she very strongly told me that she wasn't a bad woman. After I told her that I wasn't talking about her, she hit me!

It's not a true story, but I like it.
