Absolutely. In general I just try to eat and drink what makes me feel healthy, in moderation, since trying to follow every scientific warning is maddening.

Warning: Living is hazardous to your health.

I used to work for this guy, a real curmudgeon, who once told me more he knew only two things for sure :

1. People are no damn good.

2. Life itself is deadly dangerous and fatal in the end.

He's dead now. :-(

Just like trying to follow every 'healthy eating recommendation'. 2 serves of fruit. 4 serves of veg. Protein. No carbs. But carbs are needed. No fat. But eat fat. There's healthy fat! GI and low GI! Calorie count! Restrict X, increase intake of Y, then next week it flips 180°.

I've practically given up trying.
