You have to be careful though; Data does not equal information.

For example, pepsi has fewer calories that fruit juice, but even an addict like me wouldn’t claim it’s better to drink pop. Cholesterol is one of those things that is “bad.” Yes, the wrong typ of cholesterol in your blood is bad,in your food – since it all gets broken down in your digestive system, not so much. The chicken may have had clogged arteries however. 😉 What you really want to watch for is saturated fats which your body turns into cholesterol, and trans fats, which are just plain nasty.

Fibre is my favorite misused data set. People with high fibre diets are healthier, therefore fibre must be good right? So if I dump a bunch of wheat chaff into my danish every morning I’ll be healthy right? Well, no. People with high fibre diets eat high fibre food, meaning lots of fruits and veggies. That’s why they are healthy. Eating cardboard isn’t going to make your high fat, high sugar diet any healthier.

By the way, we bought Mum a Wii and the boxing is actually a pretty good ( and hilarious) work out, even if Billie slaughters me each time
