Godzilla in peril?

Look out Godzilla the Yanks are after you.Red meat is not only unhealthy but can be positively lethal, according to a major US study.The research shows regularly eating red meat - especially the processed variety - dramatically increases the risk of death from heart disease and cancer.Each additional daily serving of processed red meat, equivalent to one hot-dog or two rashers of bacon, raised the chances of dying by a fifth.We all know that the Americans eat huge portions of anything unhealthy like, burgers, hot-dogs and, anything else Fast Food.  Is this just scaremongering or, just the veggies getting in on the act?

Not ALL Americans eat unhealthy, fast food type junk food.My daughter has been an American resident for over 7 years now and married an American man.......Their diet consists of very healthy balanced meals and as a very frequent visitor myself (been twice in the past 8 weeks) can attest that there is no need to eat this so called fast food....Lots of veggies there too.....

"Each additional daily serving of processed red meat, equivalent to one hot-dog or two rashers of bacon, raised the chances of dying by a fifth."I thought 'the chances of dying' (regardless of what you eat throughout you life), always remained the same for everybody. A dead cert. npi.

Rather partial to shell fish and a good bit of haddock, not to keen on chicken (Godzilla.)  Mind you a good pork chop from our lovely butcher on Churchfield doesn't go amiss.  It's a pity that we don't have a good wet fish shop in Acton.A good crab recipe is Linguine con granchio e limone (linguine with crab, fresh chilli and lemon zest (also garlic.))

I KNEW there was a practical reason - not just what it says in Leviticus - for abstaining from sausages, bacon, cured ham and the like.Phew, God was right!Chalk it up to the chap with the dilemma... not Pavlov, the other one.

Another study from the U.S.White rice may increase the risk of diabetes (type 2)Is it safe to eat any food, or are we all doomed?

This has been known about white rice for years.In the orient diabetes is rife too.More wasted money in surveys.Brown rice in small portions is the way to go.

Yummy sirloin steak and chips with bearnaise sauce for dinner. Plus other unmentionable things. Enough cholestral for several heart attacks.(but did go to the gym today)

Exact opposite.  Roast gammon, chicken (Godzilla), pickled onions and chips with plenty of salt.  Relaxed on the sofa.
