Every day we are bombarded that this is good for us and that is bad for us, then over the years we find out that "the experts" were wrong. It's kind of like the Woody Allen movie Sleeper where he wakes up in the future only to find that scientists have discovered smoking is actually good for you!
Today it was reported that women who eat even 1/4 of a grapefruit increase their risk of cancer by 30%. Now how can anyone believe that? And what is the truth? MAYBE the 30% of women whose cancer increased were all actually doing something else that caused their cancer and just happened to be eating grapefruit.
I contend if they had been eating something rare like cumquats then maybe you could draw that conclusion, but grapefruit? Maybe they all ate Big Macs and that was the cause. Or the stress from having children?
My point is this; ENJOY LIFE! Don't let the "experts" ruin your life by making you paranoid! And who are these "experts" anyway? They never seem to be identified or held accountable for their findings! It's like those unidentified sources or people who speak under the condition of anonymity. It's chicken-you-know-what!
