Under those circumstances, irrespectiove of the righs or wrongs of drinking by pregnant women, which I do disagree with as it happens, I feel that NICE has no credibility to lecture people on health matters.Lord of Atlantisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-2884011006681892652012-06-20T11:33:36.618+01:002012-06-20T11:33:36.618+01:00All too often, I get the feeling that many of thes...All too often, I get the feeling that many of these "Nanny Organisations" or "Nanny Agencies" feel they need to be seen to be doing something and usually, just peddle Nanny's non scientific tosh. They do this to make their role look important, nay vital, and this ensures more and more funding. We have seen much of this in action in relation to the new false religion of climate change for example.<br /><br />I am sure that no harm comes to an un-born child from a small intake of alcohol by the mother, whilst carrying that child; my mum drank stout during pregnacy to help build up her iron levels. I repeat my advice yet again; everything in moderation and you won't go wrong then again, I have a degree in commonsense gained at the University of Life.<br /><br />I did almost wet myself laughing at Nanny's latest propaganda effort on the state's broadcaster; It stated that those men that drank a lot of tea; seven or more cups a day, were at greater risk from developing prostrate cancer however, the piece went on to say that they weren't sure whether there was a link to the tea or whether those men were just old and thus were at a greater risk anyway......I took this to mean that, based on Nanny's dodgy science, those that drank a lot of tea, lived into old age and then statistically were more prone to the disease.....So Nanny; does drinking tea help men live longer, which your own evidence suggests or, does drinking a lot of tea increases men's risk of prostrate cancer once they get very old?<br />Although I have been out of the clinical enviroment for a few years now, I always understood that tea contained a high level of antioxidants, which protected one from developing cancers......Everything in moderation Nanny, everything in moderation:-)<br /><br />I am no longer worried about Nanny and her diktats because, very soon, if she keeps on going the way she is, she will disappear up her own arse......And I for one, can't wait!!Tonk.noreply@blogger.com
