Can smelling a cheeseburger shorten your life?
According to this article in today's paper:
http://news.cincypost.com/apps/pbcs....WS01/702030358 "The smell of beef brisket ....could be shortening your life span." (Ellipses added for affect). Bad news for us smokers? Heck no! That just tells me if I can suffer as much by smelling a food as I do by eating it, then by gosh I am just going to eat as much as I want anyway and not try to control myself FWIW, this article is a real stretch and you shouldn't panic unless you happen to be a fruit fly on a restricted diet. Which is a good point.....if fruit is so good for you, how come fruit flys only have a 60-80 day lifespan???? Chris |

BOB would rather fight hurrycanes and toronados than snow |

Can smelling a cheeseburger shorten your life?
A quote taken from the article,
"Granted, it's a long way from fruit flies to human biology, but a study published Friday in the journal Science Express indicates that even the smell of food can reduce the life span of creatures on reduced calorie diets." Thank Goodness I'm not on a "reduced calorie diet"! : ) Piedmont |

Sounds like it could be a wonderful ad for Crisco. > you shouldn't panic unless you happen to be a fruit fly on a restricted > diet.

I always thought they should eat more vegetables; it gives them a more balanced diet, adding perhaps another 48 hours to their life span. I saw some at a 7/11 today sipping from a pool of spilled beer from a broken bottle. I'll bet those same flies will be back tomorrow bumming for a drink. If the choice is fruit or beer, these flies were acting more like humans. Their life span? Probably longer than the those bums hanging around the store. My six-pack was firmly clutched in my hands :>) Cheers! |
