Is milk bad for you ?

huh... good job Cee. Did not expect it, but all 100% of that is correct. Really.

And no, milk is not bad for you.

I read that Vitamin C intake will reduce the recovery duration from flu/cold.

edit: searching for article to support/debunk this.

It wont. Search Vitamin C Meta Analysis.

I am very surprised that paper towels are more sanitary than air-dryers. It makes sense, but I had always assumed otherwise. I guess it is because I always thought the air was filtered, and the hands being dried were clean.

Thanks!

However a point to note down is it does provide some effect to athletes located at high altitudes/cold weather (forgot the exact description).

taking vitamins..is it important for health?

For people with bad diets, for old people who don't get out very much, bed-ridden patients ... wait, does that sound like people who go to pharmacies to buy multi-vitamins?

I can agree that if you are an athlete, exercise a lot, sure take 'em. The probability it being secreted out in urine/sweat/whatever could be significant, but then I guess those people too already are taking it.

Can rotten blue cheese give you food poisoning?

Cooking with microwave is bad for health in the long term.

Myth or not?

drinking cold drinks after eating isnt good? is it true?

For the reason of it causing fats to coagulate and cause cancer, no.

For reasons given by traditional Chinese medicine knowledge, e.g. weaken the kidneys, t is yet to be proven by Western Medicine.

This is for iced water.

yes for this reason,and i mean drinks with ice..so it isnt true right
because ive remember some phrase abt it stated

"the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine . Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer . It is best to drink hot soup or hot water/tea after a meal."

This was answered in early 2009 in this thread..

Guess what.. Post #1

ill check that out and thanks

Some is real trust me, it did take away 14Kg of fats from my sister

can contact lenses cause damage to our eyes ?

I use the microwave for all my home cooked meals. I use it to cook rice.

I have heard many different opinions on both sides of the fence, but wikipedia seems to think its OK

Not if you follow the instructions and keep proper hygiene.....
some ppl's eyes are a bit more sensitive, like someone i know, after wearing it for the first time, the eyes became red...

My elder sister wears contact lenses last time. She got an infection and causes white dots on her eyes. I doesnt really know what and how it happens, but spend around RM20k for the treatment in less than a year.
- injections on eyes (i myself feel very painful when i look at that)
- Medicines

All doesnt work. (End up publishing in Sin Chew Jit Poh Newspaper for help)
But end up with a nutritional product with Seabuckthorn cure her eyes.

So through this experience, my sister is not wearing any contact lenses (Phobia)

Truth:
Contact Lenses does not really damage your eyes UNLESS
1.) You wear it for long hours (VERY LONG). - my sister always wear her contact lens in front of computer for long hours, sometimes she even forgot to take out when she goes to bed and sleep.
2.) Rub your eyes.
3.) Lack of hygiene
4.) Improperly fit soft lenses

This is based on advice from a Nutritionist my parents met with.

I guess this site helps too - http://www.allaboutvision.com/askdoc/contact-lenses.htm
Correct me if Im wrong. Im not an expert.

Another things was, why cant I gain weight?
I had lots of nutrition product that Im having at home. However, I still remain the same weight from 55kg - 60kg (Inconsistent weight gain and loss). Height : 186cm.

I have rheumatic fever since Im 5 year old till when Im in form 3. Now im 23 years old. Can it be excessive of drugs/injections when I am small refain me from growing fat? Oh yeah, my intestine wasn't that good, always stomachache.

Any expert would know here? I get advices from some of the people. Most of them says "get protein powder, workout, eat more proteins", but does it really helps?
