Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense. G. Stein

So the last of look both ways, but don’t leave your brain behind either week:

Example 1: THE EYES

Carrots can improve your eye sight. While carrots do contain substances that are good for the eyes they don’t cure existing or prevent heredity condition or other related conditions (like eye damage from diabestes). So while carrots are good for your they can’t cure all that ails or will ail your eyes.

Sitting too Close the TV will damage your eyes. This is false and it’s felt that it is believed because children who set very close the TV already have vision problems and thus it is a case where they took the condition and blamed it on a symptom.

Reading in the dark will damage your eyesight—While it may cause headaches and can strain the eyes it has never been found to cause permanent damage.

So here you have OLD OLD WISE TALES that have been going around years before the common media and is still believed by multiple people as it is a COMMON FACTOID.

WHEN STUDIES COLLOIDE

I have seen test and studies that blame coffee for everything under the sun….

“In the 1980’s and 1990’s several prospective cohort studies were done to investigate the correlation between coffee and diabetes. Many of those studies reported that there is an inverse dose-dependent association with the risk of type 2 diabetes ” http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/coffee-and-health/faq-20058339

A huge study of more than 25,000 coffee drinkers in South Korea shows that moderate daily consumption — that’s three to five cups a day — is associated with a decreased risk for coronary artery calcium. CAC is a great predictor of future heart disease and hasn’t been studied much in the past. http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/04/health/coffee-myth-fact/

So what ya gonna call Ghost Busters? No actually you need to go to reliable sources—and review the information in regards to your own health picture. You are not a common denominator, you are YOU and if coffee affects you adversely, if you’re addicted or have some of the health issues that coffee affect then you probably need to discuss it with your health care professional to see how coffee or any other food or drink might affect you and like the Mayo Clinic points out “Although coffee may have fewer risks compared with benefits, keep in mind that other beverages, such as milk and some fruit juices, contain nutrients that coffee does not. Also, adding cream and sugar to your coffee adds more fat and calories. Some coffee drinks contain more than 500 calories.” http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-answers/coffee-and-health/faq-20058339

THE DIET/HEALTH GURU: We’ve all seen them, some TV celebrities, some real doctors, some nutritionist and some heaven knows what that have made a name (whether with a few or with many) for a life style change, regeme, diet etc. ABC News reports:

A cook book Evans co-authored was dumped by its publishers because it contained a controversial do-it-yourself paleo infant formula thought to be harmful to babies.

“Cancer survivor” Belle Gibson, who promoted “clean eating” that involves avoiding gluten and dairy, has also had her book pulled from circulation, in this case amid uncertainty over her cancer diagnosis.
And “Wellness Warrior” Jess Ainscough died (many believe prematurely) after attempting to stave off her rare cancer with alternative therapies including coffee enemas and drinking huge amounts of organic fruit juices. http://www.abc.net.au/health/thepulse/stories/2015/03/24/4203942.htm

I remember when I was growing up in the 60’s the emergence of the Macrobiotic Diet (One of the earlier versions of the macrobiotic diet that involved eating only brown rice and water has been linked to severe nutritional deficiencies and even death https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrobiotic_diet). As with anything else if it appears too good to be true–then it probably is. No guru doctor, monk or world renowned athlete can suspend the basic interactions in the human body, they can’t make cancer go away simply by applying a few unusual combination of minerals and vitamins. There is no magical cure…and most of us don’t seem to have enough faith to benefit from a faith healer.

And finally people cheat others and they don’t care if your health or even life is involved, just the turn around on their investment. There are doctors that are involved with natural medicine that can help you without destroying your health—look them up and get a second opinion if your doctor turns up his nose at a combination of natural and conventional meds.

So use good sense. Get a second opinion. Don’t do anything stupid and if you have questions ask your doctor and if he didn’t help much get a second opinion or if it’s a diet maybe a nutritionist. Don’t take any body’s word (including a best selling novel or your best friend) do your home work–if your life’s not worth the effort I don’t know what is.
