hugopal it doesn’t need to be entirely true. no diet advice is going to cover everyone. bottom line is that what i said is accurate for most people and it’s good advice. no one is even going to read what you posted, much less get any value from it.

    Along_the_Wire at least people would’ve read my post

    I’m not that bothered tbh, I put them together for my own curiosity as much as anyone else’s benefit.

    But by all means keep making brief, readable comments that advertise to everyone that you’re an absolute berk if you wish.

        Hadn’t even realised I did that, lol.

        Can’t believe how sensitive the screen on my phone is. Almost as sensitive as you, Granto

          I downvoted because by your admission it’s funny.

          Well fuck you too, Hannu

          That’s you off the Christmas card list

          Downvoted too. So you can feel how much it hurts

          Durchy, grant and hanners one remark away from doing a begbie in the jc bar, these down votes are akin to the pint glass getting tossed over the balcony…

          It was friendly fire.

          Crazy how quickly it all descends into madness after one unintentional poke of the finger.

            Amps Yeah - gave it a whirl a few years back. Didn’t really do anything for me, but have heard others say it’s really good for inflammatory arthritic conditions…

                Sad to admit that near the top of my packing list for my trip to Courchevel in a couple of weeks:

                • 1. Back brace
                • 2. Knee brace (x 2)
                • 3. Ankle support (x 2)
                • Ibuprofen x a million

                    vinnyt77 I’ve had my anterior cruciate replaced a few years ago….no skiing for Moi.

                        What is the point in Skiing? Stay at home and just throw yourself down the stairs. You’ll save a fortune too.

                          Dan I discovered a couple of years ago that I don’t actually have an ACL in my left knee. Didn’t know that was even possible TBH, so a learning experience for me. My physio was adamant that I could still ski, with the right muscular strengthening to support the meniscus, and a knee brace to stop me from twisting it too vigorously. Not sure why a replacement would necessarily be any different? Has altered my skiing style. Off piste is pretty much out, and I’m much more likely to stick to less steep slopes that I can carve my way down with a slightly straighter leg.

                          SM001 I fucking love it. Surfed a lot as a kid, and got into skiing in my teens. Can’t surf for shit anymore, but I’ll ski for as long as my bones allow me to…

                                vinnyt77 The trouble is without the anterior cruciate you run the risk of meniscal wear as it’s compensation for the ACL.

                                  I thought it was common knowledge. Just watch a vid how sunflower oil is made🤮
                                  Finest first press Olive oil only in our gaff and has been like that since dot. You’re a mug if you entertain anything else.

                                  You shouldn’t be necking a teaspoon of coconut oil daily if you have high cholesterol levels either.

                                    Cankles-McJeggings The link between dietary cholesterol and blood cholesterol is dubious at best and likely has no impact on heart disease and risk of heart attack. Trans fats, sugars, eating excess calories, and a lack of exercise are more causally linked to heart attacks.

                                        There’s nothing dubious about the impact of ox liver for example. I think if I’m going to take note of advice I’ll follow the consultants and specialists at the British heart Foundation and what the research scientists who work for them have done not some unqualified prick on twitter who owns a health store.

                                        There’s plenty of research to back up it not being a great idea quaffing what is essentially a giant spoon of saturated fat once a day. If you had high cholesterol you’d be avoiding doing that right, you know, just incase and because it doesn’t really make sense to be doing that. To be recommending doing it when not taking into consideration that it could well be artery clogging for people with high cholesterol is irrational and irresponsible.
                                        When the fad of coconut oil first came out everyone was falling over themselves to eat it. Not so much nowadays after proper research has been done.

                                        It’s not that simple, but my point about the absence of a link between dietary cholesterol and heart disease stands. And yes, my total cholesterol is higher than recommended, but in the absence of trans fats, excess sugar/calories, etc., it’s not an issue.

                                        Following national health guidelines is a great way to end up sick. They still recommend high carbohydrate diets and their guidelines for most vitamins and minerals are generally way off. Diet is complicated and aiming for “average” or “normal” based on general guidelines is a terrible idea. Most people will do very well by simply eliminating sugar and processed foods, the rest is a lot of effort for diminishing returns.

                                          What? Following The British heart Foundation guide lines is a great way to end up sick?
