I expect we've all spent many hours trying to find answers to many different questions about our health and invariably we end up reading some research that doesn't reach the same conclusion as another similar piece of research that we read the previous week.
This is a light hearted, tongue in cheek, explanation of why we should take some research with just a little bit of salt. Thank you Jason Fung, I like the way he explains things although I can't vouch for everything he says, because I haven't read it all.
Two cows were discussing the latest nutrition research done on lions. One cow says to the other: “Did you hear that we’ve been wrong for the lat 200 years. The latest research shows that eating grass is bad for you and eating meat is good.” So the two cows started eating meat. Shortly thereafter, they both got sick and died.
A year later, two lions were discussion the latest nutrition research done on cows, which showed that eating meat kills you and eating grass doesn’t. The two lions started eating grass and died.
The moral? We are not mice, rats, chimps or spider monkeys, says Fung. We are humans and should consider only human studies.
