Science announcement: Bread is dangerous 1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users. 2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests. 3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations. 4. More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread. 5. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water to eat, begged for bread after as little as two days. 6. Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to "harder" items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even cream cheese. 7. Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey , bread-pudding person. 8. Newborn babies can choke on bread. 9. Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 450 degrees Fahrenheit! That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than two minutes. 10. Most American bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling. ... No new mail for you.

Somewhat related: these are the sort of stats that people use to try and ban pornography by improperly linking it to crime as a cause and effect...yet people actually buy into it then! Live and let live: if you don't want to star in it, don't bloody well video tape yourself in the act and leave the tape in the camera when you have it sent for warranty repair. If you don't want to watch it, don't buy it. It's a slippery slope when we start trying to ban things and using stats such as those used humourously above: personally, I don't like bread, and highly processed carbohydrates used in bread are massively contributing to the obesity epidemic and the blow out in health care costs for all tax payers...so I say we ban it. On the other hand, I can try not pushing to legislate the films you can watch, books you can read, or foods you can buy, and maybe everyone can all get along a bit better.

Regards, Ari ummm . . . ari, food, in general, contributes to obesity. maybe, everybody should just stop eating food. silverware contributes to obesity. pots and pans contribute to obesity. stoneware, china, melmac, glassware all contribute to obeisity. oh hell, kitchens and dining rooms contribute to obeisity. television contributes to obesity. chairs contribute to obesity. the movie industry contributes to obesity. cars contribute to obesity and therefore, highways contribute to obeisity. . . . ad nauseum. gee, you know what, ari? i think the real underlying reason for the blow out in health care costs, for all tax payers, is going to the doctor. so, i say we ban going to the doctor! yeah. now, i can get behind that! kate <oh, the slippery slope of "logic"! it is particularly easy to use a *specific something you don't like* to create a negative generalization about it. gee, maybe that's how the concept of "study grants" was born?!> Signaturespammage trappage: remove the underscores to reply I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like.

To allow just bread without allowing porn would exacerbate the problems of obese people by removing a valuable form of exercise ;-) Signaturespammage trappage: remove the underscores to reply I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like.

SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare > the first rule of research and or any research methods course: > Correlation does NOT equal causation! And 'causation' rarely 'correlates'...>g< But, Seriously, on a side note related directly to the health concerns of foods containing "gluten". Several times over the last 20 years I have gone on 'gluten free' regimens with no perceptable changes Till this summer at me sweet lucy's urging I tried once more and /WALAH\ several things re: my bad health have improved significantly. My digestion (i have crohn's now) is much improved and my energy levels and stamina are increasing, slowly but perceptible. I do feel better and will continue to avoid the gluten. The improvement in crohn's alone is well worth it. Perhaps it is not crohn's but celiac disease. Time will tell. Perhaps you remember over the years I am the goofball that used to do an intense elimination diet once a year because I believe that my reactions to certain foods change as I age and as my disease's progress. This has been supported by the fact that my sensitivities to certain foods do indeed change and requires adjustments that I now make about every 2 years. I just wanted to share this as I do not often have any "good" news about my health and its a real treat when something positive occurs. Keep in mind my research methods are 'my research methods' and may not correlate in your world.>bg< high desert gluten free hugs and hellos, johnie |
