This in the news about milk has thrown me a bit (take children over 2 off full fat milk)

This

Mine still have full fat milk and eat a good diet. (All beanpole-ish in stature)

I buy whole milk specifically for them. Are the Government's Food Standards Agency getting a bit ott about this? It seems the wrong thing to tell people to remove from their (or their children's) diet to me.

I think the egg/cholesterol thing is a very commonly held belief. MOst recent studies say that those who have an egg for breakfast every day are less likely to be overwieght than those who don;t.

It was all over the papers in the 80's wasn't it, and was such a huge thing that it passed into the popular psyche.

Not really a stupid thing to believe - it's what we were all told in categorical terms.

Wonder if one day they'll realise that actually alcohol and chocolate are actually essential components of a long and healthy life

I'm a full fat milk drinker and I have no regrets. I like it!

Tumtumtetum - I've just found these two pieces of info:

"wine has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, certain cancers and slow the progression of neurological degenerative disorders like Alzheimer?s and Parkinson?s Disease."

"Dark chocolate is good for your heart. A small bar of it everyday can help keep your heart and cardiovascular system running well."

Isn't it just red wine and men though

Can you find me something that says I can have some while pregnant
