So low tar cigarettes are not as deadly as regular. Let's all have low tar cigarettes, because they're healthy.

Yeah, that's shamelessly ripped from Dr. William Davis, but it shows the logic problem.

I have to shake my head at people trying to run around the problem of carbohydrate intolerance by insisting theres a 'healthy way' to consume them. Any other food would have people advising you to stay the hell away from it if you're intolerant. But you know why carbs are different? Because they're so cheap, and governments for whatever reasons seem to want a large population (in more ways than one) rather than smaller, healthier ones.

Anywho, good luck to everyone doing the exact opposite of what the government funded "science" and corporate "health care" tell you what to do. It would be hard to do any worse...
