I am fed up with these experts first it's good for you then bad then back to good :hulk: make your minds up.

You're absolutely right, STEED.
But look at it from this angle.

Studies keep scientists busy with their hobbies and lead to reports; reports make research institutes famous; famous institutes can attract money for studies; studies keep scientists busy with their hobbies and lead to reports; reports make research institutes famous; famous institutes can attract money for studies; studies scientists hobbies reports research institutes money etc.

Perhaps this should be the subject of a study by a renowned expert.
Me for instance, just give me a budget and I'll start hobbying...
:D

yeah yeah steed as ive said before u can always find studies that say the complete oposite on any subject , this dosent mean this is the truth . its like the recent study that found being in cold temperature give you the common cold what a ****ing waste of money and time to get that answer

:D

Sounds a good way to keep yourself on the gravy train for life :D :up:

the recent study that found being in cold temperature give you the common cold what a F@&*#^! waste of money and time to get that answer

Say that again our cold research has now stopped what a waste of money that was. :yep: :smug:

I'm reminiscing that scene in Woody Allen's movie Sleeper, where he's defrosted back to life 100's of years into the future, attends a private coctail party of medical professionals and is told that the study of doctors so-and-so in 2300 and something clearly proved there's no link between cholesterol and heart disease.

Woody immediately starts grabbing as many whipped cream desserts as he can hold from the nearest serving tray. :rotfl:

Don't blame the scientists, blame the media. Scientists will usually come up with something like "There might be signs of correlation between the ingestion of Omega-3 fats and so and so with the metabolisation of protein GB 4 25".

The institution's PR dept say "Omega 3 might help reduce cholesterol!"

And the journalist go "Fish is good for you!"

...Of course, that's a simplified diagram, but essentially, that's the thing. Mass reporting is done for six years old, remember...

This sort of thing has been going on for years here's three more

Some things are certainlly bad for you.

Other things are uncertain.

But for the most part, everything is bad in excess, and many things are good in the right (usually reduced) amount.

the study i liked was the gold fish lifespan increased by componets of red wine they lived longer by 60% unfortunatley a human would have to drink 64 litres in 24 hrs to match the study im working on that hick!

We can't without them...I think. :hmm:
But when you know a case from inside you see what a absolute crap they some times write.

[STEED]

I eat a lot of fish and don't give to hoots to these experts. :D

[XabbaRus]

But hey isn't doing things you aren't supposed to fun?

So we have lots of things to rebel against, depending on which direction the winds are blowing at the time.....

Fashionab;e rebelling..yay...

All bollocks if you ask me. Pregnant women aren't supposed to eat more than one tin of tuna a week. My wife was eating two or three some weeks and my little boy is just fine....

Not so little either...will have to post some new pics.

as i have said recently you can get 2 different scientist to argue on the same subject and produce oposite and compelling evidence , take the expert witness farces we have in the uk and in the usa of course when u pay a man to study something hes always gonna come up with something he snot gonna bite the hand that feeds him and invariably he come up with what u want to hear independent studies i trust the most
