    Even though I tended to diminish the issue, it still stinks to see people at risk for cancer at such a young age, no matter how many (or few) they are.

    I am reminded of a old cable series on the morbidly obese, eating some astronomical number of calories at day (I think it was 13,000.) They put everything this one woman ate in a given day out on the table and asked if she noticed anything. I saw it right away...everything was tan. It was a sea of fried and processed stuff. Not a bit of salad, veggies or fruit to be seen. Regarding the current topic, I doubt that I get the minimum recommended amount of fiber from foods, but I at least have one salad and fresh fruit every day, if for no other reason than to get the nutrients.

    You gotta wonder if it can really be due to diet, but nothing else really makes sense. I really wish the physical trainer's lifestyle and diet were delved into.

    Yeah and no one seems to eat at home much .,even in the smallish town where I live , the cafes are always full at 9 am in the morning ,hubs had an eye check up at the optometrist a few days ago ( at 9am ) and we parked between to cafes ( the Main Street is full of them) so I went for a walk while he was in the optometrist cause we was heading to the city after he’d finished ….allot in fact many were eating big huge plates of bacon / eggs/ sausages / baked beans / toast / cooked tomatoes
    it all looked fairly greasy to me IMG_9171.gif Others had toasted sandwiches with what looked like cooked / chopped sausages/ hamburger , goodness knows what the filling was :eek:
    and fried chips ( remember this is at 9 am in the morning ) goodness knows how much fat / calories is in the huge serves. ( most we’re sitting outside in a area with plastic blinds to cut the freezing winds)
    I always think nothing like training the kids young how to eat junk …:(:(:(:(

    However we traveled through the main shopping town in-our area after hubs appointment which has a Mac Donald’s and hungry jacks that were full lots of kids on a mid winter morning eating junk food , as well as a subway that’s popular.

    I keep my intake to under 1000 Calories a day mostly under that ,I’ll have a sandwich for lunch when we go dancing during the day but it’s usually chicken or lamb I’ve cooked myself and only one slice of bread ( I buy what called white high fibre )

    Whenever an increase in a certain disease is reported, the experts come out of the woodwork with an explanation as well as a solution. Most are not valid.
    I recall in my early 20's hearing that coffee causes bladder cancer, then in my 40's it prevents bladder cancer & is very high in antioxidants - even higher than vegetables. Same with dark chocolate.
    I also remember hearing about the evils of marijuana, along with those nonsensical films shown in high school about how it makes young people dive into swimming pools with no water, putting their hand on a red-hot stove burner & it causing young men to grow female breasts.

    I have to agree with you in allot of those issues related to food @Tony Nathanson
    Mind you it played on my mind recently when I very reluctantly bought a single can of Coca Cola I went mmmm all this stuff about sugar substitutes ..nah I’ll get the full sugar can
    I hate coke ..but if I get despite to end the irritation in my throat from cold or flu coke tends to stop it
    ( it didn’t this time ) tho …
    She was recommending we use maple syrup to replace sugar cause it’s natural …but isn’t all that sugar cane I see growing in Queensland natural ?
    That was a different Heath adviser to the doctor i mentioned up here ^^^its Saturday morning here in Aust so the TV pushes Heath topics on weekends

    Here in the states they corn syrup more than than true cane sugar, @Kate Ellery .

    In fact, some people buy sodas from Mexico because it contains real sugar...and it tastes better.

    When George Burns was 99, he was asked if he eats natural food with no preservatives.
    He said, "No. At my age, I need all the preservatives I can get."

    Logically, it should matter what we eat.
    Food ends up going through bowels, doesn't it? :D
