Re: FW: interesting website listing healthy foods

April 17, 2004

Hi,

Thanks for your thanks.

Firstly, I wonder if it could be possible for anyone else with

interesting websites to share them with the other members.

Secondly, today, I read the latest info about gout and beer

drinking. More specifically, other gout potentially inducing foods

are said to be herring, sardines, and to a lesser extent broccoli,

aspargas, spinach, salmon (whether farmed or not) etc.

Again, I am reminded of the old Woody joke about a well-meaning

healthly oriented person who falls into a coma and who subsequently

regains consciousness after 30 years to find out that Mc

hamburgers and chocolate cake, which he avoided in his pre-coma days,

are subsequently found to be health foods. (Actually, today some

five or ten years after his joke, it is possible that chocolate cake

could be ok if the flour is made out of whole wheat, and the

chocolate is dark, not milk chocolate.)

Probably, at the end of the day, every food has a cost/benefit to

it. Very few foods are solely one way directional to good health,

although some are overwhelmingly positive.

I wonder if the group members were to list their food choices, once

considered to be highly healthy, where the cost benefit ratio has

become questionable as a result of research or other information, and

where the cost benefit ratio is nearing 1 to 1.
