Why do you have such a liking about English websites? :P
It's the Daily Mail, most well-known for being killjoys and their obsession with health and safety.

...and blaming things on immigrants and gays. I like the description on Wikipedia: "The stereotypical Daily Mail reader is characterised as an insular, homophobic, aspiring middle-class conservative who lacks the intelligence to read the broadsheet equivalent the Daily Telegraph."

Well Ess, you've quoted off of the BBC website, the Mail, the Indy...

Which is why my Father in-law gets it B) :o
I personally read the Library copy of The Independent before work proper starts :lol:
My thoughts on the article is that most of this researchy stuff was wrong the first time so it's equally likely to be wrong this time. Simply, if you put on weight, eat some potatoes and leaves for a fortnight.

I guess if you want to believe something is bad you can find an article to prove it's bad, and if you want to believe something is good then you can find an article to prove it's good. :shrug:

I basically eat what my body craves. Sometimes I want fried things and I eat them, other times I crave salads and I eat them that day.
So far for me variety has worked.
I have had all the tests and no problems have ever show up. I don't take any kind of med's daily.

I think that's best! :yes: I do much the same. I craved BC and California rolls for a while. Couldn't get enough of the seafood. Now I almost gag thinking of eating it. :shrug:

Whoever wrote that article cannot write very well.
Authors around the world are finding themselves more and more criticized. This is part of an increasing trend.
The connection between saturated fats and authors have not been properly explained. Due in part to a study by Agnus Steaks, some people doubt a connection at all.
I writing in short paragraphs, and clearly slapped this story together after a couple of pints and a conversation with this dude.
I don't know, the writing of that article made me suspicious of its content, but you can't rule it out. I think that there are a lot of factors associated with heart disease and I think that it's really simplistic to assume that cholesterol alone is the cause, and by simply lowering your LDL levels you can cut it. But I think that there is a lot of evidence that its a factor, and I think that you would be foolish to ignore that.

Bah! Giltia cares not for his health and physical safety. Soon as Giltia is able, Giltia will indulge all of his wild fantasies. Bungee jumping, skydiving, mountain climbing, STD filled "workswomen", running naked through a crowd of workers on strike, taking over a gas station in Mexico with a metal spork, and eating fatty fatty junk food.
Giltia sees it two ways.
I can be healthy and protect myself from the dangers of the world, living a long, boring life.
Or I can give in to hedonism. Live a short, sweet life of indulgence.
Considering I believe in no afterlife, the second one sounds like the best use of my time ^_^
You only live once. So bring on the cholesterol! I'm going off the rails on a crazy train!
