Razors Edge ★ Posted November 14, 2017 Share #1 Posted November 14, 2017 ...to guide us in medical matters these days? Seems like folks are pretty happy to just go with their guts on things that are studied and tested and researched by "professionals" and to disregard or call into doubt the results of the pro's research. Are we in a post-fact medical era now? On the flip side, have folks also lost their minds on being able to spot clickbait vs real information? I see an awful lot of "I read recently xyz is bad for you" or "It's actually good for you to xyz instead of abc". What level do you keep your BS-meter set at and have you recalibrated it recently?

Although there is no scientific proof that this is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted November 14, 2017 Share #12 Posted November 14, 2017 Tell me again how much healthier margarine is than butter. I have heard that for over 60 years from all the "Experts".

Best of both worlds is A leech. Using a single one avoids the bloating AND the AOS. I believe the flatulence is just normal for men. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
