Scientists have also been studying coffee, too much of that will be bad for your heart and will probably kill you due to a high cholesterol level

I’m sure you are all waiting to find out what the hell my point is! Well I heard on the radio this morning the top story (salt) and all I could think was, why the hell do scientists bother with this shit? Everything in moderation is fine! If you ate 20lbs of Steak a day, then yes, I would expect to die fairly quickly.

What I don’t understand is why there are scientists in this world who bother to waste their time on such trivial things, I hate to tell you this people but we are all going to die, if I die by eating chocolate then I will be very, very surprised. Why waste the money? What is the sodding point, I don’t think a day goes by where I don’t read the next thing that will kill you, nothing has been left out, coffee, red wine, tea, milk, cheese, chicken, eggs, fish, salt, sugar, SEX, too much sex will kill you????? Well, that’s the way I’d like to go!

Stop wasting vast amounts of money on working out which things are going to kill us, NOBODY CARES, yes we know TOO MUCH will kill us, but I would expect to die if I poured a packet of salt down my throat every day but I’m sensible enough not to do that, I know there are stupid people in this world but surely not that stupid? Find a cure for Aids instead, that’s a challenge, do it, do it now, spend some money on that for a change!
