“Can someone PLEASE bring some PERSPECTIVE to these constant alarms?”

My mom is a healthy 96. She’s eaten fried food all her life. Are they saying that without the fried food she’d live to 150? Perspective, you can eat actual poison in small amounts and not be harmed; depending on what it is and how much. The tiny amount of saturated what-have-you you’d get in fries a few times a week is WAY less harmful than and excess calories you’re eating. (AGENDA PING!)

In almost all cases the Paracelsus assessment applies. Only the dose makes the poison. There are a fascinating few cases where a little of a certain foreign substance is actually documented to be worse than a lot of it.
