Stop! Don’t Go Any Further!

Having said it before, I’ll say it again, “Don’t Believe What You Find On The Internet, Unless You Want To”.

************

We all know that Blueberries are good for us. Beside the fact that the Blueberry Salesman tells us this is true, we can also find abundant proof on the Internet that this is true.

According To The Internet, Here Are Some Of The Health Benefits of Blueberries...

Ø You May Reduce Your Risk of Chronic Disease

Ø You May Have Lower Blood Pressure and Cholesterol

Ø You May Have Better Cognitive Function

Ø You May Recover From Your Workouts More Quickly

Ø You May Improve Your Vision

Ø You May Have Better Digestion

Ø You May Improve Your Skin Health

Ø You May Reduce Chronic Inflammation

Ø You May Get Fewer Infections

Ø You May Have More Stable Blood Sugar

The late Peggy Lee is visiting with me today and as she overlooked my shoulder at the above list of Blueberries’ Health Benefits she softly said (she always speaks softly), “Is The All There Is but what else could there be? That is about everything one would want to worry about when it comes to worrying about health. There is no doubt Blueberries are Good For You and you ought to eat lots of them and you ought to eat them every day!” (Have you ever noticed that when you type Soft Speak it comes out smaller?)

To this I softly said (I always find I speak softly back at her when we speak)... “Is that all there is?”

So, Peggy and I set about researching the Internet to see if it were possible to find one thing bad about Blueberries.

We found one thing and another one thing and... You get my drift. The Internet always finds the Good, The Bad and The Ugly about everything.
