Title: PLEASE make up yer MIND !
Post by: P.C. on Mar 18 09 09:18
"Scientists are now questioning the health benefits of eating fish. Researchers from St. Michael's Hospital and the University of Toronto, in conjunction with University of British Columbia's Fisheries Centre and author Farley Mowat, teamed up to scrutinize the effect of eating fish for good health, and the impact on our fragile ecosystems. The scientists also suggest that eating fish might not benefit just everyone. Perhaps the health claims of fish oil consumption are a bit inflated."

  I'm glad I'm not greatly influenced by all the health claims of these studies...whether for or against....as I know within 6 months, they will change their minds completely.  Coffee - bad....coffee - good.  Red wine - bad...Red wine - good.  Chocolate - bad....chocolate good.  Too much this....not enough that....no, wait...too much that, not enough this.  Who can keep up.

  Scientists have yet to hear the wisdom in the old adage.....Everything in moderation.

Well I think the truth is 'moderation' like you always preach.  Ah, like they've done studies now, the model looking people with zero body fat don't live as long as the people who have a bmi that is barely 'healthy' range. BMI 23-24

Eventually in 20yrs they will be able to figure out how long we'll live just by looking at our dna (for like 10 bucks). They can tell us this now (its too expensive), but wouldn't that ruin the idea of living? Ethical question.

lol.  That's classic JJ.  So I guess the same rule applies to things we don't eat as well maybe ?
