"a recent study suggesting that regularly eating yolks is almost as bad for your arteries as smoking "
common sense tells you this is the dumbest statement ever.

I have to say, WHO CARES! Cripes my Dad lived to 89 eating lard sandwiches when he was a kid and using most of a stick of butter on his sandwiches througout his life. Eggs, oh yea he ate eggs for breakfast, and bacon, and buttered toast.
My Mom made 87, but suffered strokes from about 80 on. I will eat and do what I want. I have had enough of the what is good for me gang. I can pay for a study to say Arby's will make me live an extra 10 years. If I had a nickel for all the studies that contradicted themselves I'd be retired 5 years ago. Hell, coffee is good for me, red wine(wine is for fruits, my 2 cents), red meat will add years, a vegie diet, I may live forever. Money buys you an opinion of how long you will live. Common sense tells you what is right.
Cripes my best friends Mom smoked a pack a day until she was 80. 2 Heartattacks, and she kept smoking another 5 years. I don't know, maybe she would have lived forever if she didn't smoke.
I would like to remove any federal money from these useless studies. I don't know about you, but I can figure out when I am doing something that may not be the best for me living forever.

Oh wait, where was it I said it was all false? Oh that's right I didn't. I am just saying that we all make choices, and some seem to live well past the phony crap that various groups throw out about how long you will live. My friends Mom didn't have a great quality of life for the last 5 years, at the same time she was well past normal life expectancy for her, as was my Dad and Mom.
We have too many special interest groups selling stories about drink this, don't do this, inhale this, don't inhale that, and you will live forever. Or at the least you will run a 6 minute mile, lift twice your weight, have a hard on to pound nails, etc. I am tired of the b.s., I accept I haven't lived in a bubble, I will die, and I may need medical help along the way.
Get a grip, I will fly planes, I will skydive, I will ride my cycle, as well as walk across the street. I may die doing one of those also, oh well, I guess I'd rather live than die before I die.
