As it's a DM link I assume it's all bollocks anyway, but FWIW, the supposed link between saturated fat consumption and heart disease has been thoroughly discredited within the last few months: The Questionable Link Between Saturated Fat and Heart Disease - WSJ.com

So another official taboo bites the dust. You'd think people would be more skeptical about these by now, especially the better-educated people who tend to take the most notice of scientific pronouncements and buy into an apparent consensus like a lot of brain-washed sheep.

How long before scientists generally admit, as some reputable scientists argue already, that smoking isn't as bad for most people as Governments and health nazis maintain?

True _some_ people may be vulnerable to tobacco smoke, just as some probably are to saturated fats, and some to vanilla ice cream come to that.

In fact I am sure when I got my first mortgage (about 17 years ago..) I pretty much had to go through my monthly outgoing to see how much I could afford to repay....

I remember having to do that for a £5K car loan. Never had a mortgage, but I just assumed it would be the same.

That's a really good read.
