online rumours

Sometimes, i really wish ppl would just stop publishing rumours about food. Well, ok the way I see it, is unless if there's hardcore proof that certain food is bad for you, just take everythign in moderation and it should be fine. I mean.. i can more or less understand how ppl don't like food additives, they aren't design for their healthiness. So if today ppl write a whole article on how eating sausages will make you die 10 years younger or what not, I would say thats' an exageration, but ok, at least I know for a fact that the stuff they add in sausages aren't that good for you, so eating less sausages IS probabily better for you health long term.

What annoys me, is when ppl write articles about natural ingredients!!!! SERIOUSLY my flatmate is absolutely paranoid ok!!!! and since she know i am doing food related stuff, everytime when i see her while deciding what to eat, i'll get bombarded with questions.. and they are just... well.. complete paranoia from reading too much those internet rumours that she doens't know what to eat anymore... AT first i thought she's really cute for well... asking so many weird questions, but after a while... i am just... at disbelief at how much fear the media is putting into the ppl.

S:"hey~ can i eat yoghurt at night"
me:"er.. why not.. i do that all the time"
S:" are you sure it's not gonna have a weird chemical reaction"
me:"........"

S: "hey~ is it ok if i eat broccoli with lamb?"
me: "@__@ why the heck now? ppl serve that in retaurant"
S:" oh ok~~ just want to make sure that it's ok to mix the two together"
me: "?!?!?!?!!"

and then.. just tonight... i was eating my apple with cinnamon, she was sitting next to me eating persimoon
S :"hey~~ can you eat cinnamon with persimmon?"
me :" well, why not, but haven't tried it, not sure if it's nice, you can try some"
*handed her my cinnamon bottle*
S:" are you sure this won't kill me?"
me: "........ why would it?"
S:" i don't know... no one ever ate this before, so if i am one of the first, it might have a undiscovered chemcal reaction"
me:" .... i am sure even if it does it won't kill you"

........ see what i mean!!! paranoid!! absolutely. She is also somehow completely convinced that persimmon can't be eaten in the same meal as any seafoods, due to.. yup you guess it right.. chemical reactions.

Ok.. now i am not a nutrtionist ok! i really am not! i've only taken 1 nutrition paper, and they sure didn't tell us what sort of food cannot be eaten with another type of food.

But seriously, if you think about it, anything you eat can probabily be toxic to you in some form, and in some cases be carcinogenic, but seriously! sometimes ppl need to have a little more faith in our body's capability in coping with these!! just like how ppl are saying detox programme is completely useless, because our body has a very good capabilities to get rid of normal toxins.

bleh~~ oh well.. just my viewpoint... i might get cancer one day for... eating capsicum with beef all the time who knows... but unless if someone give me hardcore scientific evidence that i can't? i am jsut gonna enjoy food whichever way i like it.
