You know here is another item that has gotten way out of hand in my eyes. Today they are suggesting folks to go in for colonoscopies . Thing is even if one does what they say and have these tests the test only shows about half of what it is suppose to, if that in my eyes.  I am no doctor by no means but I am thinking that one should be looking at alternative measures first. Like eating properly and putting good things back into ones body that has been killed off by the things we are eating today. Take a look at this article. Almost says what I am thinking.  My opinion only as usual.

A British research team headed by Professor Donald Maxwell Parkin of Cancer Research UK Centre for Epidemiology, Mathematics, and Statistics in London reports natural approaches involving a healthy lifestyle could slash the rate of on in Great Britain over the next 24 years. And there’s no reason to think the strategies wouldn’t prevent the same cancers in other countries, too.

The new research suggests that changes in diet, exercise, alcohol use, and body weight could cause the rate of colorectal cancer in the U.K. to plummet by over one-fourth. This is a ten percent higher reduction in the number of cancers than would most likely be prevented by a proposed national medical screening.  So use common sense.  Preventative med. is a better way to go than what is out there today.

Another warning not to eat Safeway lean ground beef sold in Sask, Man, and NW Ont.

The lean ground beef affected was sold in packages of approximately 450 grams with the first part of the UPC being 201670 and a Canada establishment number of 573.

The meat was prepared for certain Canada Safeway stores in northwestern Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

The affected packages bear a Best Before or a Freeze By date of March 19 and were sold from March 13 to March 19 and are no longer available for sale.

Consumers who may have previously purchased this product and have it in their freezers are advised not to eat it.

Bottled water across the country contains a wide variety of toxic substances, according to laboratory tests.

“Tests strongly indicate that the purity of bottled water cannot be trusted. Either can the plastic bottles it is put in.” “Given the industry’s refusal to make available data to support their claims of superiority, consumer confidence in the purity of bottled water is simply not justified.”  Amazing folks even buy it. Kind of makes one think how this old world has gone.  Nature gave us fresh clean water for free enough for everyone in the beginning. We then polluted and wasted it till there is hardly any left that safe to drink.  Progress some say.  Well I won’t  elaborate on what I think.  My opinion only.

Good old bacon and eggs.  Well the eggs are OK and I would say a bit of bacon wouldn’t hurt any one. Remember this one word, moderation. I have eaten a lot of eggs through out my life and still do today. Especially for breakfast.  I also like them pickled and boiled with salt and pepper, when a snack urge strikes. Can’t be beat.  Take a look at this article.

Eating eggs does not significantly raise the body’s cholesterol levels, according to a new study conducted by researchers from the University of Surrey and published in the Nutrition Bulletin of the British Heart Foundation.

The researchers reviewed the results of several different studies on eggs and nutrition, concluding that eggs did not contribute significantly to the body’s cholesterol levels. Although eggs are in fact a high-cholesterol food, the researchers note that only one-third of the body’s cholesterol comes from dietary sources; the rest is produced by the body from saturated fats. As a consequence, saturated fat intake plays a far more significant role.
