Australia stands at the forefront of global medical research, with our scientists providing relief to patients enduring various long-term ailments for many years.
We excel in stem cell research, treatments for stomach ulcers, and may be on the verge of new breakthroughs in cancer therapies.
So, who is responsible for initiating the most recent research into potential health issues associated with food and long-term health risks?
For instance, who prompted the inquiry into the effects of consuming three glasses of milk daily possibly leading to cancer in later life? Recent news reports have raised alarms about alleged links between milk consumption and health concerns. Additionally, Australians need to take a daily vitamin D supplement, as we risk developing osteoporosis as we age…despite enjoying almost an entire year of sunlight.
Considering the substantial donations directed towards medical research, one might question, ‘who chose to investigate milk’?
Studies indicate that a daily intake of fish correlates with longevity, fewer Alzheimer’s issues, and better digestive health.
Was this finding made public before the nuclear disaster in Japan?
Following the nuclear alert, millions of gallons of contaminated water were released into the ocean. Given the potential environmental damage lasting for centuries, why do we continue to consume fish?
I often find myself questioning why I keep up with the latest medical studies – meat is beneficial, meat is harmful, milk is advantageous, now milk is a problem, fish is healthy, fish is not, alcohol is good, alcohol is detrimental… it almost makes me consider picking up smoking again.
In my opinion, the solution lies in ignoring medical reports and heeding the wisdom of what your grandmother used to say when you fell ill.
She always had the best advice.
