"They've just come out with some study results that seed oils are causing cancer"

OTOH

"However, when the World Cancer Research Fund reviewed the latest scientific evidence on fats, oils and cancer risk, it concluded that there was no evidence that eating vegetable and seed oils in moderation increased the risk of cancer. In fact a small amount of these types of fats help our bodies absorb some vitamins."

But AC read it on the www and in his world that makes it true.

I'd wager there are very few foods that we eat that haven't been linked to cancer. But look for words like possibly, maybe, could, more research needed, indicates. ie there are almost no studies showing this or that food is proven to cause cancer. But the anxiously gullible mobs will eat (!) it up.

Its all about statistics and the search for grants. Get a bunch of people, find that those with the cancer were more likely to eat some product or other and declare the case proven - at least until the next grant is due.

BTW do you know that eating bitter chocolate helps you to lose weight?

Lies, damned lies and statistics.

Another thing that Dutton needs to do prior to the election, is cut out the politics surrounding the climate change scam. Stop the scam altogether by opting out of Net Zero and the Paris agreement; forget nuclear and promise to get back to the cheap, reliable fossil fuels we are blessed with; and listen to/consult with people who are not politically motivated, and actually know what they are talking about.

“We’ve done a lot of damage to real climate science by the demonisation of carbon dioxide.”(Professor Will Happer, American physicist and adviser to George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump).

Happer points out that there are natural cycles of warming and cooling that have been ignored “by this manic focus on CO²”.

People who say that the ‘science is settled’ on climate change don't don't really know how science works, according to the Professor. The science is “never settled”. When you hear that it is, you know that “politics has taken over”. Science is ‘settled’ by politicians.

Climate Modelling is not reliable. It is an unbelievably complicated system. The atmosphere and the oceans are “notorious for being hard to predict”.

All of the “absurd” computer models don’t mean anything; they will give whatever result a sponsor wants.

Historical records are ignored, when they should be looked at with regard to times when the temperatures and carbon dioxide levels varied from those now.

Professor Happer explains this by saying that some scientists are not honest; and they are worried about next year's funding; and if there is no “climate crisis” there will be no funding.

Like an increasing number of laypeople, Happer refers to climate alarmism as a scam, with much of the data being “doctored”, and the past “keeps changing” (disinformation on past temperatures and conditions). Politics "changes the past"

Talking about bitter chocolate and weight loss?

Bitter (dark) chocolate is high in calories and many varities contain
added sugars. You can:

1) Choose bitter (dark) chocolate with at least 70% cocoa.

2) Limit your intake to 1-2 squares (10-20g) per day.

3) Avoid aptions with sugars, artificial flavouring or
additives.

It's important to eat chocolate in moderation and consider
the overall balance of calories in your diet.

Treasurer, Jim Chalmers, is kidding himself that the upcoming federal election will be a "referendum on nuclear energy".

What a Wally! What might or might not occur in the future pales in to insignificance against all the things that the Albanese government has already done, and continues to do, to Australia and Australians.

'Its all about statistics and the search for grants.'
Maybe ignoring something without absolute proof is itself about protecting profits.
Just like saying Israel isn't bombing hospitals is about protecting Israel from criticism.

Remember how you made a big fuss about Israel didn't bomb that hospital Hamas did it.
- Well they've bombed every hospital standing in Gaza now, what your bs excuse now, 'Hamas blew them all up'?

And now that the truths out what do you do?
- Do you say well bombing hospitals is wrong? No.
Or do you only say it's wrong when you could blame Hamas, and perfectly fine if Israel does it?
Then blame everyone else for being 'antisemitic' instead now?

Pathetic.

You could make a fuss about it mhaze, but what is a fact is that SOMETHING is causing increased rates of cancer.
Your naysayer attitude avoids those facts and it deters people from making better decisions with their health.
You seem to be happy for others to play Russian Roulette with health to the benefit of Big Pharma, which makes you someone just as willing to see harm done as the actual thing causing it.

Didn't your mum ever tell you 'prevention is better than a cure'

We expect our governments to do so much for us. Yet many
will go on and complain about the "Nanny State" or attack
a political party we don't support often for the wrong
reasons and unjustly. Something many of us have been
guilty of at various times.
A person's sense of what they expect from a government
is often shaped by
how capable they are of changing their life.

Many of us often don't value our politicians or our public service.
Yet these people have often risen to the challenges.

Government is rarely seen as a force for good. It's usually seen
as badly run, ill-defind, playthings of politicians. Many are
dismissive and cynical about why people enter politics.

But where would we be without accessible hospital
services, good local schools, childcare, aged care, public
transport, and so much more?

Of course there are valid criticisms. But these can only be
assessed by government's actions not culture wars and political
ad hominem attacks. Reading some political memoirs can help
and be very revealing.
