... and I told him, no. Then, he asked me if I was planning on getting it, and I said, no. To my way of thinking, this should have been the end of the conversation, but it wasn't. He then asks me what was stopping me from getting the vaccine. So, I started out easy with him and said, "Well, legally, this isn't even a vaccine." He agreed and went into the mRNA explanation. A little nervous laughter punctuated what he was saying. Then I mentioned how this was only given experimental approval from the FDA and not full approval. More nervous laughter and more agreement. I thought this would end the conversation, but he kept pressing me, which was beginning to annoy me. I assured him I had done my research and I didn't like what I had discovered. He wanted to know even more, so I dropped the MOAB on him. I told him I knew all about the NIH and Fauci working on gain of function research and then sending the experiment overseas to the Wuhan lab...and that I was aware of all of this LAST YEAR. Now, I got some very nervous laughter from the doctor.
And, just like that.....BOOM!....he immediately changed the subject.
Conventional medicine says red wine is bad but that isn't true when they studied the blue zones of Italy and Greece.
Of course diet and fitness are important but those blue zones consume red wine daily and it doesn't impact their health.
I would take it a step further and say olive oil is probably worse for your health than red wine. And even so olive oil is a staple for Italians and Greeks.
Olive oil consumed in large quantities possibly can be harmful as it does linger in your system and it can impact cardiovascular health. But as others have said there are other factors too like the rest of the diet. sleep and exercise.
Like I said in another post a lot of 100 century mark Italians and Greeks live that long consuming olive oil so it isn't that harmful. But it is still important to know the benefits and risks.
The "wine" that we make and drink in Greece is nothing like the stuff you buy elsewhere. In fact I've seen tourists spit it out because it doesn't taste like commercial wines. Definitely an acquired taste because it doesn't have the usual additives such as antifreeze.
Real quality wine from France, Italy and Greece is very, very different than what is sold in the US so I agree on that.
It’s not the wine bud. It’s diet, lifestyle, exercise, and culture despite the wine. Enjoy your vino it’s good on occasion to me too but it’s not healthy and you’re kidding yourself if wine is the secret to the longer lifespans.
They studied these blue zones and the benefits of red wine outweigh the risks.
Bear in mind that we (the healthy ones) drink wine in moderation.
Well to many Greeks, French and Italians moderation is daily. Most other cultures consider drinking wine once a while is considered in moderation, so it is all relative.
They also have studies saying the opposite. Scientists are easy to buy as politicians.
Back in the day they used to say red wine and red meat would lead to a shorter life span and reduced quality of life. Apparently the Japanese, Italians and Greeks never received the memo. That has nothing to do with scientists or politicians as these cultures have diets that go against conventional "western medicine" advice for thousands of years.
