It’s good, it’s bad, it’s good, it’s bad, it’s good, it’s bad, it’s good, it’s bad...

Coffee will kill you. Coffee will stave off Alzheimer’s. Fat will kill you. Fat is good for you. Eggs will raise your cholesterol. Eggs will keep LDL cholesterol low.

How can anyone in the US, let alone the world, believe anything coming out of health care circles if studies are back and forth twice a year?

I did read recently, however, that taking a wait-and-see approach on prostate “positives” is the best course of action. Treatment up to and including removal of the prostate oftentimes leave men impotent and miserable for the rest of their lives due to sexual dysfunction.

An old friend got prostrate cancer at age 75. You'd never know it.

The radiation and the meds sent him down hill. Up until that time he was getting around just fine....no pain...no disability.

It’s very simple. Government studies and academic research have lost all credibility. I don’t believe anything they say anymore. It’s all about their self-interest, socialist agenda, and getting more grant money. It’s no longer about altruism and looking out for us, the unwashed masses.I don’t trust government, bureaucrats, unions, academics, intelligentsia. I do trust my doctors.
