The Daily Outrage

I have never been a big fan of newspaper headlines which either proclaim some research suggests that x food is now good for you, or on the flipside that x food is now bad for you. This is a favourite of The Mail and The Express who like to scare the Middle classes.

If you have read "Bad Science" in The Guardian by Ben Goldacre, you find out that these stories are often based on press releases and the scientific basis is flimsy to say the least.

Anyway, I'm off to have a spoonful of salt before bed.
