Life Is A Delicate Balance

Have you ever taken notice of how we are covered up with Medical Warnings?

Actually, the above sentence is an incomplete sentence. The complete sentence is, Have you ever taken notice how we are covered up with Medical Warnings ... of things that we were once told were bad for us but which have now been reclassified as good for us?

The opposite is equally true, there are a lot of things that we were once told were good for us but now have been reclassified as bad for us.

There are lots of examples...

  • Coffee (was bad but now good)
  • Fish Oil Capsules (were good but now bad)
  • Butter (was bad but now good)
  • Margarine (was good but now bad)
  • Eggs (were bad but now good)
  • Liver (was good but now bad)

The Health Warning/Advice below just might be of more interest to some of you than all 6 of the Good/Bad/Bad/Good Examples I listed above...

Moderate alcohol drinkers gain less weight over time than people who abstain from drinking alcohol completely.

As the subject of this Foolishness stated above, Life Is A Delicate Balance. If you heed this warning, you just might end up being an Overweight Alcoholic before you find out that this is another one off the long list of erroneous health warning that the future will correct for us.

It may take even longer for this warning to be corrected because the people who issued this the warning have since become Overweight Alcoholics and have not been spending much time in their research labs since they started buying elastic belts to wear to Happy Hour.

Even worse than all of the above, are the warnings that told us, if we did something, we would die. Think of all the people who did as instructed and died of something that the Medical Community later decided was not really deadly. I bet those Dutiful Deceased are really mad that they got dead when what they died of was not really a problem after all.

I hope I did not confuse you. If I did, this would be the first time that a Foolishness...Or Is It? has done that to you... Or would it be?

Would I kid u?
