Good grief you'd have to do a lot of trials to prove this. I doubt that it really helped and depending on what they felt was a good level of blood sugar then it could be just junk science. Mostly it would be cutting out sugar and carbs that would lower the blood sugar, not drinking kombucha and...

Oh and you can also buy meat off cuts if you are prepared to fiddle a bit. Put the bits in a slow cooker, cook overnight. Add some garlic and onion if you want. And a table spoon of cider vinegar. When cooked remove meat from bones and freeze for using as stews. Bottle up the liquid and keep in...

Why would you buy corn flakes. No nutrition, better off eating the box it comes in than the product itself no difference. People need to think especially if they have kids. Prioritise meat, a few cheap veggies or grow your own, eggs (they are cheap really), canned tomatoes (base for stews and...

I love reading about this but it always stuns me how people seem to think they have to eat at least 3 meals a day. I have survived on one or two for quite some time now. Though I am older and so won't get rid of all my health issues I am much better for it. I'm sure if some people just stopped...

I guess we have gone through the wringer with all of this. Many charities along with the ones who want you to sign up for whatever. They do get the message. I remember being in a call centre and we were told to ring the number on the page plus the number either side. One lady got really upset as...

Well Australia grows its own olive oil. Plenty of brands even in Coles and Woolworths, might be a bit pricey but if you must have it support locals or buy it direct from the supplier. Would never touch canola. Rubbish that wasn't ever meant for human consumption. Macadamia oil is good too. Any...

Oh dear, they can't sell enough sun screen so they have to drum up some spurious argument for using it. Poppy cock is my answer to this crap. Covering up and using sunscreen is useless. It can cause skin damage and cancer. Most melanomas turn up in places where you never get sunshine onto. I'd...

Sorry obesity isn't a disease it is a result of disease. The only type of obesity that can't be really well treated by changing your diet is Lipoedema. This is a slightly different type of fat, mostly affects women and if not controlled can lead to cancer. All other body fat is due to what we...

I think a lot of us have shared food and drink especially as school kids. Hygiene is one thing, panicking is another. This bacteria has been around for a long time. A WA doctor gave it to himself so he could test the antibiotics to see which one fixed it. Nothing new here. Just like most...

This is so much twaddle. The only people who want you to cut out red meat are the processed food companies. They want you eating junk highly processed rubbish that has no nutritional value. Humans have been eating meat for all of their history and now some wanker scientist paid by the junk food...

Intermittent fasting it proven to work to stay healthy but it may not result in weight loss. Calories in, Calories out is rubbish. Thermodynamics do not fit humans because of all the nuances of the human body. Cutting carbs but not cutting protein is the important thing with intermittent...

Well truth is so far none of the treatments they have come up with have worked. The old saying just because a fireman is at the scene doesn't mean he started the fire. This applies to a lot of situations in the human body. Just because something is there does not mean it causes it. It could be...

Firstly you are entitled to hearing aids for free as you are over 80. Also if you are a pensioner. You only pay extra for the super dooper ones, not the basic ones. This could help immensely. Do you have a relative or a friend you trust who could go with you to the bank? This type of crap is...

Biggest issue with this is calories in, calories out is not a good way. Firstly you cannot compare apples with oranges and this is what calories in, calories out does. There is no consideration for nutrition and nutrient density of foods. The human body cannot work via thermodynamics which is...

Personally I think it is up to parents to teach their kids about sex. But see nothing wrong with this type of education in high school. Leave the little ones alone. They need their childhood. Also would not touch anything Yumi Stynes does, she's already proved she's capable of making herself...

Oh that is so sad. Condolences to his family. He was a great footballer and I watched him most weekends as a kid. He will be missed

I really do think it's a big struggle for single pensioners. The money just isn't there. We get a couples part pension with a carer allowance and a defence pension as well but what is given with one hand is taken from the other as the defence pension is classified as income. We manage but can...

Good grief these are not new. I have a few of them. Bought them at the local furniture and decorator store. You can also find them at markets and they do larger ones for large bowls.

Total junk in my opinion. If we are allowing governments to shut down farms, stop people eating what is the natural human diet, pushing "lab grown' crap that is so much cheaper to produce then we have lost the plot and I'm glad I'm closer to the end of my life than the start. Heaven knows how...
