News that Vexes

It's so tiresome to read 'new studies' that reveal Smoking, Stress or Obesity are Bad for you. Yet these studies appear all the time. It's time to take back the newswire from so-called Scientists!

High-Fat Foods may be Bad for You!

A shocker from the South!

People whose diets are heavy on deep-fried foods and sugary drinks like "soda" were more likely to suffer a stroke, a new study finds.

I know what you're thinking.  What do they mean, "deep fried foods"?  Well, again, this article comes to the rescue.
"We're talking about fried foods, french fries, hamburgers, processed meats, hot dogs," bacon, ham, liver, gizzards and sugary drinks, said the study's leader, Suzanne Judd of the University of Alabama in Birmingham.
WHUH??  I don't believe it.  Is there an independent expert available?
"This study does strongly suggest that food does have an influence and people should be trying to avoid these kinds of fatty foods and high sugar content," said an independent expert, Dr. Brian Silver, a Brown University neurologist and stroke center director at Rhode Island Hospital.

HMMMM,  I'm starting to think fatty and high sugar foods may be bad for you.  Not sure. MORE STUDIES NEEDED.  Though I know this much: no more gizzards or liver for me.

Send mail to the lead 'scientist' of this study to congratulate them: sejudd@uab.edu
