Bacon is as bad as smoking now. Beef might be linked to cancer–maybe in copious amounts? When the World Health Organization announced this, the internet had a tantrum.
Then Country Living Magazine warned me that tea can be laced with trace amounts of lead. Nice. And before that, there were e-coli outbreaks from packaged spinach. Nail polish is filled with toxins. Antiperspirant deodorant has been liked with breast cancer. Even fresh fruits and veggies get some side eye because of insecticides and other chemicals.
There are times that I just want to scream. With all the dangers and heightened risks out there, I sometimes just don’t want to know. I eat lots of green leafy vegetables. I paint my toenails. I use antiperspirant deodorant. (You’re welcome.) I cook with beef from time to time, and I prefer my broccoli without bugs. If I follow all those danger signs, then I’m on death’s door.
But do you know the one that made me want to cry? The one about tea. That was the last straw. (I think everyone else’s last straw was the bacon!)
I think I’m going to simply accept that I’m mortal. And I’m going to drink my tea, and I’m going to write my books, and I’m not going to think about my eventual demise. That’s the human experience: blocking it out. It works for me.
I’ve been alive to watch the great egg debate swing from the worst food on the planet to the best food ever. It’s a tennis match, with the egg as the ball. Newsflash, without costing a single penny for research: Life causes death. You’re welcome. 😉
I have a feeling beef is going to do the same thing that the egg did. 🙂 But we’ll see!
The third time the pendulum swung on the eggs, I stopped paying attention. I eat what helps me feel my best. Granted, I make a lot of mistakes, but it isn’t based on what some researcher declares. Didn’t help when I learned that it depended on who sponsored the research. 🙄
I agree. I eat what helps me to feel at my best, too.
Patricia I got news for you and this was a surprise to me when I first moved into my apartment here at E. Academy the administrator and I got talking supplements food and essential oils and I asked her what a good deodorant was, can you believe this she said lemon juice right out of the bottle. I put it in a tooth pick dispenser just pour a little out and apply it under my arms every morning. Works great. The bottle lasts a week and I replace it with fresh lemon juice
How interesting!
