WHAT? FRUITS & VEGGIES GOOD FOR YOU?


OK, I won't, as promised, refer again to the prankster who made it necessary to point out such obviousness, but a couple of recent clinical studies confirm ONCE AGAIN that low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets are healthier and keep your weight down better than low-carb diets. The key, of course, is to eat the right carbs. Duh, you can't get thin eating donuts and white bread. What should you eat? Fruits and vegetables. And if you want to ward of cancer, DO NOT eat five a day - no, according to the National Cancer Institute, you should be eating nine a day! If you can manage that (and even I haven't been able to, so far), you won't have room left over for junk food!

In a related development, a new study confirms, ONCE AGAIN, that organic fruits and vegetables are more nutritious than conventionally raised ones. Hear that, John Stossel?
