The whole concept of scientists telling us whether or not something is good or bad, or if global warming exists is kind of funny. All I can say is that people were drinking "laudenum" back in 1880 and it was considered good for your health but by today's standards it's basically a heroin cocktail.

Just eat when you are hungry and excersize when you can, and if you get the sniffles go to the doctor and stay away from those 5-day flu "cocktails": they wreck your immune system and it's all in the good name of medical science.
