Another day and inevitably more stories have appeared saying how scientists have conducted research and they’ve discovered a new fact about a food and how it can have a positive or negative effect on your health.
Today its eggs and chocolate, apparently if you eat the yolk of eggs it’s almost as bad as smoking, and can also increase the risk of suffering a stroke or heart attack.
I don’t think they’ve gone far enough, why they don’t come out and say if you have two egg yolks a day it’s the equivalent to smoking 20 cigarettes, I bet Rocky must be terrified think of all the egg yolks he ate, how an earth did he win the title knowing at any moment he could have a coronary.
What makes this even more hilarious than it already is, is that eggs are supposed to be considered part of a healthy diet because of their protein content.
Moving on and another story has surfaced today that dark chocolate could lower your blood pressure, ok so you go out and eat lots of dark chocolate get your blood pressure right down and then you find out that you have diabetes and you’re going to lose a foot.
This article is on the BBC news website and at the bottom there are several related articles one of which is titled dark chocolate not so healthy, another says chocolate may protect the heart, what by encasing it in a thick fatty shell.
I know the people behind this research are well meaning but please stop coming out with this nonsense every couple of months, because a couple of months later someone else will come out with an entirely different set of results and your credibility is gone.
Maybe you should consider putting your minds to something more meaningful, unless you discover that a food categorically 100% will have an effect positive or negative then you can shout about it, until then enough.
