When will those who announce all these panic-inducing results of scientific medical studies realise that familiarity eventually breeds consumer lethargy? I suspect that such constant and often conflicting announcements serve only to generate growing disinterest amongst us masses - and thus detract from the value of truly important discoveries when they are made. One minute product or material X is good for us and were told its the best thing since Mr Hovis found a new use for bacon slicers. The next, were warned that its more toxic than a Roundup and Mercury cocktail which has been chilled by an injection of CFCs. Whilst there is of course a happy medium, I generally feel the same about red meat and the occasional grog intake as did Omar Sharif when told that each cigar he smoked would knock ten minutes off his life. He replied that hed rather have a shorter life doing things he enjoyed, than a boring longer life dedicated to rigidly following only that which is good for him.
