Studies Cause Cancer

Just a few years back a friend of mine told me I had to start drinking red wine because it was good for my heart.My curiosity was aroused as there have been heart issues in my family , so I asked how he knew about this new health directive.
" A study came out proving it. I read it just the other day."
So, with this evidence, off to the liquor store I went to stock up on the elixir to extend my life. Screw exercise, I can drink my way to health.
Viva La France! Ah the French! They discovered how to live a long time with a high fat diet plus alcohol.
Supposedly the resveratrol, which is the key health substance in red wine, is an antioxidant which will do all kinds of great things for our cholesterol and arteries. Besides red wine there are numerous,though less fun antioxidant supplements marketed to us by large profit minded companies as well as fruit and juice companies. Crazy combination drinks are also marketed. All touting their massive health benefits.
But, later investigations showed that the benefits were only shown in mice and the human equivalent dosage is about 1,000 liters of red wine per day.(http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heart-disease/in-depth/red-wine/art-20048281)
Saddened, I stopped drinking.After all, who can afford 1,000 liters of wine per day?And if I could, are  there enough hours in a day to consume it all?I could barely finish my gallon of intestine emptier the night before my colonoscopy!And I have to think 1,000 litres(note the alternate spelling of liter) of wine,daily, could have rather bad consequences that more than offset the potential benefits.
Other studies have come to light saying that taking in loads of antioxidants may not be so good after all. I won't cite them all here.
This is just one example of a limited number of studies being used as marketing ploys. Citing a single study can launch an entire new business.
These are what I call the positive studies. If you do as your told, such as take a supplement,then positive things will happen for you. Then there are the negative studies.These tell you all of the bad things that will happen if you do something. One example is eating margarine will clog up your arteries and kill you. Several studies concluded this very thing. I cite my own study of my two grandmothers who used craploads(a crapload is more than a load,but less than a boatload) of margarine and lived to be 88 and 91 years old.Interestingly the butter industry lobbied successfully to have taxes added to margarine , and laws to keep it from being dyed yellow.The no dye rules lasted for decades.See mentalfloss.com.
Aside from the margarine studies there seems to be an endless supply of food studies showing that pretty much every food causes cancer. Of course these studies involve mice eating the human equivalent of 643 tons of  the one food in question per year.
No one is immune to all of the hypes. People begin to worry what will happen to them if they don't believe the "science" presented to them in such a compelling way.
Studies are very important in very many areas. Clinicaltrials.gov shows 179,546 registered clinical trials.Studies abound in education,statistics, research, etc.Even studies of studies, but individual studies mean little by themselves. They may provide insights that lead research into specific areas. Unfortunately they lead companies to make false claims and very real profits.Hence the warnings on many supplements saying "These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.This product is not intended to diagnose,treat,cure or prevent any disease." In other words you could very well be buying an expensive placebo.
So,with that in mind I must tell you that  new studies reveal that so many new studies and their nonsense interpretations by media or marketing companies for profit are causing severe health issues for people including fear,anxiety,heart palpitations,skin lesions and depression. This has led to a new psychological condition called "Studiesaphobia". Of course fear, anxiety,and depression weaken the body making us prone to all kinds of diseases - even cancer.
So, stop paying attention to the study of the week. You'll be healthier for it.
