Been watching the 'nutrition' experts. Over the years they have seesawed on everything.

Examples:
Caffiene/coffee is bad for you. Then it was good for you. Then it was bad for you, now it's good for you. I expect that to change again.

Salt: good for you, bad for you, now not the High blood pressure villain it was claimed to be. Next flip flow in 3..2...

Wine: good for you, bad for you, good for you, now causes cancer. (Same arguments were used about Cyclamates, was replaced by Saccharine. Then Saccharine was said to cause cancer. Now we have NutraSweet/Asparatame)

Sugars/Carbs: good for you, bad for you, good for you, bad and now causes diabetes and obesity. Of course then neglect mentioning if you eat enough of them for three healthy adults.

My take on it: Enjoy life, and all things in moderation.

Current 'Tude amused

Mad cow disease, bird flu, trichinosis, pesticides, genetically modified vegetables. Can't live on air due to pollution, can't live on water for same reasons (chemicals, heavy metals, man made toxins).

I think it's time to eat the Japanese whalers errr 'research scientists'.
