I was half listening to the TV tonight from another room when a story caught my attention. Don't know what show it was.

A doctor/scientist was asked if canned french cut green beans could cause ED in men. Surprisingly the answer was yes!

I was intrigued so did some research. Turns out it is true, not just for green beans, but for many canned foods. Apparently most canning companies use a chemical to line the cans that, when metabolized, increases the amount of estrogen in your body. Men don't respond well to estrogen. (It's not good for women or children either.)

I'm certainly no alarmist. This just surprised me so much. For details see:

MODERATOR: Won't hurt my feelings if you move/delete this thread! I kinda expect it.

All joking aside. I really wonder how healthy grocery food is nowadays with all the garbage they put into them or on them. You think your eating healthy by choosing fresh fruits, vegies, fish and who knows what its actually doing to your body? :freak:

Sort of helps explain why cancer cases have risen as food is more and more chemically created and yet those overseeing it can't quite put 2 and 2 together. Look at the McRib, they say there is nearly 70 chemicals in that, between the scalded pig guts and the bun. You'd be safer to eat the tar from the road out in front of your house.

Well, I guess that explains it...:cry: So it really is my mother's and exes fault? Women cause it, then complain about it.:mad:

Convenience is the curse i think...

Seems like anything that's easy to make, saves time in the kitchen, cash and carry etc... will eventually kill us or give us something you can't wash off. Must i always be a slave to the kitchen in order to live longer?? ;) I do enjoy cooking, but GEEZ!! Any kind of shortcut seems to be the wrong way to go. I actually bought snap beans at a farmers market a weekend ago, we went to prepare them today and the wife tells me they were rotten. I don't remember my grandparents veggies going bad so quickly, but maybe i wasn't paying attention. Who knows, just frustrating as hell trying to eat healthy.

So how many of your fairer halves are now going to start serving you canned veggies??? LOL Or in McDee's case, refilling the glass over and over, too much alcohol has a similar effect!

My horoscope today said to beware midgets bearing fruit. It did not specify canned or fresh, so now I'm worried about the canned prunes I ate.
