All things in moderation is my motto.
Since the topic was raised in the Health Issues section I did review the evidence and see no reason to change that advice.
Every single day there is more scaremongering - the latest being a scenario of antibiotic resistance having effects worse than a terrorist attack.
On this forum I do try to be selective in my choice of topics - not all to do with health - and always try to put them into perspective by comparisons with the Philippines.
I will continue to eat processed meat, chocolates, and biscuits ; and also drink alcohol - not all at the same time, and also in moderation. Fortunately I don't smoke and enjoy exercise. But there are factors beyond our control - genes ( we can't choose our parents, and average life expectancy for males is less than females ), and an element of luck ( some get cancer with no apparent cause, others smoke and don't get cancer ).
Finally, at the risk of repetition, I always try to be non-judgemental, giving the evidence without ever trying to tell members what to do. You all have lifestyle choices even if they can't all be realised!
