Everything in moderation. That's a decent rule of thumb.

Everything in moderation. That's a decent rule of thumb.
- noondip 11y agoEverything? Even cigarettes? Of course not, so a better rule of thumb would be to avoid things which are known to cause health problems altogether, at least to an extent which is practical.
- ams6110 11y agoSure, an occasional cigarette probably won't hurt much, all things considered. Exercise (beyond a point) can cause health problems. I know of a guy who is a quadriplegic because he liked to bike on trails.
- SilasX 11y agoBut health authorities won't say that; once it gets to the level of advice to laymen, it's been heavily filtered. A quick search returns this page, which claims that "there is no safe level" of cigarette smoke: http://www.cancer.org.au/preventing-cancer/smoking-and-tobacco/myths-about-smoking.html http://www.cancer.org.au/preventing-cancer/smoking-and-tobac... Really? One cigarette per year (per lifetime?) will show up? Of course, what they mean is that, if you're in the population susceptible to nicotine addiction and you're trying to quit, some smoking will make it harder than not at all. But the claim is still false as taken literally.
- kefka 11y agoNope. Doesn't work in my case. At least in reference to carbohydrates (simple and complex). More carbs = higher blood sugar. Currently, diabetes type 2 dietitians say I can eat up to 60g carbs per meal. Well, see for yourself and tell me if you think that's a good idea in my case: https://mega.nz/#!JwcSEAwC!zPqA1zVhA3zcLwLLZRJucc6AtT9zlHfNYOM1jWXqfX4 https://mega.nz/#!JwcSEAwC!zPqA1zVhA3zcLwLLZRJucc6AtT9zlHfNY... Pay attention to row 37. I started with 143mg/dL . I made a meal that was much higher than I had anticipated. My high was 182mg/dL and lasted for about 3.5 hours until returning to before food numbers. And that was just 12g carbohydrates (2/3 sugar, 1/3 complex).
