Too much knowledge can damage your health.

Apart from maths, physics and chemistry were my favourite subjects at school, so you could say that I like science.

But sometimes not!

It seems that every week there is a food scare story and this week is no different. It is now toast, lovely warm well done toast..... Researchers found that after feeding tons of the stuff to rats there was a slight increase in the the rate of cancer, so out comes the scare story.

The risk is so minuscule that Cancer Research tells us to ignore it.

Next week: Peeling hard boiled eggs can damage fingernails.

I see you can't even keep your bakies in the fridge, now :roll:

If you took notice of everything you read about food in the papers, you wouldn't know what to eat.

If they told people not to eat so much of anything it might do more good.

Personally I couldn't care less what toast does to rats.

Roast potatoes can't be too crispy says one report yesterday. Otherwise you will get cancer.
When my mother did them, they were always crispy and brown. I am still here in my eighty's so it must be a new way of cooking them.
