I was bemused, nay, entertained, by the February 8 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, which published the results of a huge epidemiological study (49,000 women) that completely destroys the claims that a low fat diet prevents invasive breast cancer, colorectal cancer, or heart disease.

Rather than admitting they're stumped, the High Priests and Priestesses of Self-Denial continue to claim that they're right and the study is wrong.

Edit: forgot to mention, increases in veggies, fruits and grains doesn't prevent heart disease and stroke, either.

And it's fine to try to get away with eating badly, but with all the really tasty good for you foods out there, I'm not sure I see the point.

Ah, but I repeat myself. The serious virtues of sin. Just every once in a great while.
