Oversimplification of complex issues
I read in various newspapers and websites on Wednesday that eating your five-a-day won’t protect you from getting 98% of cancers.
After trying to educate people for two of three years that eating healthily is a good idea and can prevent you from falling ill later in life, a story like this shatters the message and is, in my view, another example of the powers-that-be trying to oversimplify a complex issue.
We all know that eating fruit and veg is a good idea but can anyone tell me what constitutes one as in, one of your five a day? Is it the weight of fruit/veg that equates to 6omg Vit C or some other figure for any other vitamin or mineral you could choose. I’ve no idea, and I’m supposedly an educated health care professional. If I don’t know, what chance the man (or woman) in the street?
Any don’t get me started on carbon and carbon alone, causing global warming …..
