Remember years ago doctors were shown in ads for CIGARETTES? What doctors don't know will kill you. Didja know?

An Answermug pal just reminded me of the baby aspirin BAD ADVICE. We were told to take a low-dose  aspirin (81 mg baby aspirin) every day for heart health. NOW WE ARE TOLD it will damage a healthy heart and is only advised for those who have already had heart attacks! NOW THEY  TELL US! So how many healthy hearts were damaged by the taking? How many people died because they smoked because they figured if doctors did it then it must be safe? What else are we doing ON SOMEONE'S advice that is killing us or crippling us or harming us or damaging us? Going your own way without listening to anyone can be very dangerous. So too can listening to and following the advice of EXPERTS. So whaddya do? Flip a coin? Pick a straw? Throw darts? Sheesh. :(

    Some years ago I read that turmeric was helpful to prevent cancer so I was pouring the stuff into my food.  Then I learned couple of years later too much turmeric can CAUSE cancer so then I cut down to about half teaspoon a day. 
    You learn new updated stuff all the time.
