tinfoilhat Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 If I don't drink, don't have sugar, don't eat carbs, don't smoke, don't do drugs, don't eat read meat, exercise, 8 hours sleep and no stress will I live forever? No I'll die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apelike Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Good sensible advice, ignore it at your peril. All the guidelines are for your best interests. A 1% risk of getting cancer if I drink more than 14 units a week is not worth worrying about. Now for another glass of Blueberry wine.. Yachi da!

JFKvsNixon Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Just more interfering from the nanny state . Dont drink Dont smoke Dont eat fatty foods Dont drink fizzy drinks The list goes on and on. Just live your life , eat and drink what you want ,have a smoke and to hell with the meddling nanny state . How is sharing the latest knowledge evidence of the nanny state? I really don't see what the beef is, the idea is to give people the latest information and then allow them to make an informed decision on how they live their life.

No it isn't you being told what to do. It's you being given the up to date information to help you make whatever decisions that you want to.

So in your world after 20 years of research we should not be made aware of the latest findings. Giving us the chance read the full findings, and make our own decision whether to carry on as we have been doing, or decide to alter our way of life. As far as i am aware there is no compulsion to change our habits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davyboy Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Dame Davies came over as a bit arrogant when questioned on the Today programme and the interviewer didn't go along with her argument. In fact she almost lost her temper. Any way these "scientists" and "statisticians" will all have changed their views in a few years. Everything in moderation is the key. ---------- Post added 08-01-2016 at 21:50 ---------- But you will die sooner.

No. Its you being given knowledge as to what the levels are for a recommended level of alcohol consumption are before you put yourself at increased risk. If you arent interested in being more kbnowledgeable or doint give a monkeys about how it affects your health, then yahoo you. The guidelines are updated every so often if they feel a change should be made based on new data. There has been recent research , which indicates the levels should be lower than previously set as well as the cancer and other health risks associated with excessive drinking. You seem to have a great resistance to knowledge and being informed about your own health. Go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
