So a couple of days ago, one of my carers said that she had read that eating three or more eggs in one day causes cancer.

Yesterday I read a magazine which claimed that regularly eating eggs can prevent cancer....

What!?


This reminds me of the old broccoli argument a few years back!

From what I've seen in the news and in online advertisements, everything causes cancer, cures cancer, and there is one simple trick discovered by a single mom in Oakland that makes your tumors skinny.

I wouldn't put much stock in it unless they can show me the study and the reputable peer-reviewed paper that it's recorded in. Of course, I try not to say that when I'm around people who actually do believe that eating echinacia will cause you to live to be a ninety five year old with the body of a twenty one year old. That can only possibly cause problems.
