An article in Men's Health found on Yahoo talks about how some "bad foods" aren't really bad for you. I found it interesting and worth reading. http://health.yahoo.net/experts/eatthis/15-worst-health-diet-myths There is so much out there today about what is good what is bad (like the aforementioned article). It's hard to really know what/who is accurate and who is just quoting the latest research that's just come out. Long term effects can only be studied in the long term, which is why articles that cite research that has been going on for the last 20 years or so I would trust more readily. Also just because something can cause cancer in lab rats doesn't always necessarily mean it will cause it in humans... after all we are NOT rodents. So care must be taken. Most MA-ists have learned or are beginning to learn the benefits of good healthy eating with exercise does the body a world of good. Always do research of course and always listen to your body because it knows you better than your average lab-coat does.
