Oh dear. Here we go again. Scientists of one hue or another contradicting themselves.
"Mrs Almond, a guest lecturer on child health at Brighton University, said toddlers' bodies needed energy-rich foods, gleaned from a number of small meals and snacks spread through the day.....Youngsters were being put at risk of developing nutritional deficiencies as a result, she said." TOO MUCH FRUIT AND VEG! She is probably right, of course.
I am sure the response will be that this is merely a 'corrective'.
But what about the 'mixed messages' on:
Vitamin C
Vitamin E
Margarine as opposed to butter
Too little sun/too much sun
Too much fat/ we eat too little fat
Salt bad/ salt good etc, etc.
Ozone layer holes/ holes closed up
Global cooling/ global warming
Cholesterol bad. Then cholesterol good. Then cholesterol - mixed.
Red wine bad for you, then good, then dodgy.
ETC.
In fairness, some of these arguments may well be about BALANCE, in which case why was it rammed forcibly down our throats in the first instance?
Heaven preserve us from scientists with an axe to grind.
