Yes I know these are sale pitches but they are worth watching as very educational

Brief, it is not.

refuse to look after "sales pitches"

[Tink]

I ignore the pitches, I just take away what they say then research what's in the pill that I can get from food naturally, but it is long winded to watch :)

I'll see if I can precis.

 

Sugar makes you fat.

Food companies sneak lots of sugar into food.

Yoghurt (in the US) for example can kill you in four mouthfuls

Corn Fructose is a fancy dan world for sugar

Pretend sugar can also be bad news

Buy these digestive enzymes (Snake oil) and you will get more sex, live longer etc etc etc

 

The science?? Well, not really. One beautiful moment was of a sample of 567 (or so) people, 90% reported it worked.

 

A bit like asking 9 guys drinking beer in a bar whether beer makes them feel good. 90% say yes therefore you publish that beer makes you feel good, feeling good is good for your health, ipso facto beer is good for you...

 

The Doctor does some really nice drawings though...

most educated people know that beer and wine is not that good for you but we are educated and know these facts and so we can make adult decisions on whether we drink them or not and in what quantity, that's a good thing as we enjoy it

 

what is not a good thing is these large companies selling and promoting food and drink that is supposed to be good for you a bit like the tobacco companies used to do to get you addicted to nicotine, companies are doing the same with sugar!

 

don't get me wrong I like cake, chocolate, pizza etc etc but i like to know what i'm eating or drinking so i can keep track of it

 

sodas and diet drinks are just coming to light how crap they are for you and actually make you fatter!

 

designer coffees are next on the list from costa, starbucks etc etc

 

but yoghurts, fruit juices and health bars will take a little longer to catch up but they will!

 

I was shocked to hear that the fast food chains over here use a plastic substance in there buns that is banned in the rest of the world

 

now where is my beer and lettuce sandwich

Spot on Trev.

 

Wading through labelling is a daily chore - trying to understand what these guys sneak into food is hard hard work. Enough to drive a man to drink.  ;)

Beer is good for the public in right amount...

Makes them better looking and I can tolerate them more.
