Seems pretty much everytrhing is bad for you
Discussion
Just about every week new reports come out saying this or that is bad for you, often a few years after you were told the opposite.
Butter kills they said, and then it is actually OK and margerine is the bad one.
A galss of red wine is good for you. Oh no it isn't, you as good as dead if you drink it etc etc.
I totally get how new research keeps generating new data and as a result the scientific opinion changes.
Mind you I had to smirk when I saw these two stories side by side in the news section:-
The older I get the more I think everyone had it about right 100 yrs ago. Everything in moderation and you will be fine. Same goes for dirt. I see so many people who essentially sterilize their houses and children (no I don't mean make them infertile!) on a daily basis and then wonder why they have no resistance to the normal everyday bugs that we all come in to contact with.
Anyway, off to run about in a muddy field with the dogs, have some toast with butter and then later some red wine with dinner. I'll be lucky to make it thought the weekend.

See any advert on tele for food/exercise thing/toothpaste.
Foster the culture of 'if I don't get my 5 a day or use this Oral B toothpaste to keep my mouth healthy, I won't see thirty!'
eee gads!!!!
Or alternatively just live how you see fit.
Easy when you know how.

Careful your post does not end up in the oral hygiene section though.
everything is f
king bad for us... chiefly because we've not evolved to safely process most of the things we eat. Processed ste, red meat in abundance, cured meats, preservatives and additives, chemicals, pesticides and hormones, cheese, sugar, sugar and more sugar... all that st.
Our bodies are basically built for vegetables, grains, occasional fruits and occasional animals. That's the logic behind this Paleo stuff, but the issue with that is who in their right mind wants to subsist on that in 2017?!

Take no notice.
People are healthier and more long lived than at any other time in the history of man.
Health scares are, in the main, bullst made up to sell papers.
Given how people like Keith Richards are still cracking on I'll not worry too much about drinking a can of coke once a day or putting butter on my carrots.

Indeed.There is now a suggestion that there are so many 'health scares' that get publicity when there is little or no real-world impact (eg. burnt toast gives you cancer) or making the recommended consumption levels unrealistically low (eg. more than one beer a week will kill you) that many people are now ignoring the proper sensible health guidance (eg. smoking is bad for you, don't get roaring drunk 7-days a week, maybe have one less sugar in your tea, eat some fruit, etc) using the logic 'everything is bad for you'.
