Why is it that when people didn't worry so much about ........?

Question

trans fat, and cholosterol, and carbs ....they actually lived longer?

Do you think that maybe because people are being stirred away from these things that they are in turn taking in too much of something else without knowledge?

For instance right now fruits and veggies are the only thing "acceptable" to eat if you pay attention to carbs, cholesterol, and trans fat. Do you think in 5 or 8 years we will get a report that too much vitamin c is deadly?

I think that if people go back to the "Everything is acceptable in moderation" rule we all may live a bit longer.

Answer 1

You've got a good point, I was just talking to a friend today about how it seem like every other kid is allergic to peanuts, but when I was a kid you never heard of it.

Answer 2

cause ever 10 years they make a new study and find it was actually good for you! look into how we GOT trans fat to begin with!

Answer 3

Good thinking. My grandfather lived to be over 90; my daddy was only in his 60s...

Answer 4

i agree with your points about food obsession but people are actually living longer now.

Answer 5

I agree, therefore, I eat whatever I want...in moderation.

Answer 6

I agree with you 100%.

People didn't care about it as muh, until they heard it was "unhealthy" for you.

Answer 7

where did you get your facts? people living longer? where? when? you need to be specific. In general, people live longer now because of superior MEDICINE, not diet.

Answer 8

makes sense

Answer 9

I eat wat im happy eating. I enjoy wat i eat and i make sure its not silly food all day. But i wont stop eating because of what people say. Everything has its downside but lifes to short so enjoy wat u like but just dont over do it. Im lucky I dont like crips, chocolates, biscuits and that kinda junk so i can afford to eat other types of junk.
