Hung Parliament. Looks like both my pensions will go to ratsh!t again!

Yes of course. It's a question of avoiding - where you can - that which you know to have been found carcinogenic....making wise choices.

It's a case of who you believe. I remember when eggs were good for you; then they were bad; then they were good again. Butter; great until it wasn't. I understand that the Americans have taken cholesterol off the list of "foods" to avoid. MSG - what is that? I find MSG leaves a bad taste in my mouth so I avoid it wherever possible.

I always make wise choices - I eat what I like and what my body doesn't reject.

I don't think you can compare food with toxic chemicals e.g. PFOA that has been shown to be carcinogenic!
 
Last year it was "If the vote is for Brexit", the pound will suffer". "If the vote is against Brexit, the pound will suffer".

Us poor old pensioners never win (particularly those outside the EU and other privileged countries).

I had no idea what PFOA was. I'm not sure if I even know now.

Unless one chooses to live in a bubble, every one of us is exposed to something that might be bad, might harm us, might make us old faster. As for myself, I try to manage what I can and hope for the best. You can worry yourself into the grave being concerned with things that you have no real control over, right?

My Mom would say "you're going to go when you're going to go". She was never as careful about her diet and exercise routine as I am, and still lived to 82 in spite of herself. I'd be happy with a healthy 82...

You should see some of the stuff used in food production. It'd put you off wanting to eat.

In the production of Teflon coated items. Not in non-stick cookware.

Primarily in Teflon coated items, yes but not exclusively. Some non stick manufacturers state that their products are PFOA free.

There's a difference between offputting practises and those that have been shown to be carcinogenic!

Incorrect! "the “triple lock”, which guarantees a minimum increase in the state pension each year" - I don't receive any increase in my state pension every year.

You are disputing the article then?
