In Australia we have the healthy heart symbol to denote what foods the heart foundation believe will keep your heart healthy.... I kid you not....30%+ sugar cereals!
Leads to one of my favorite quotes below.
http://davidgillespie.org/heart-foundation-says-sugar-isnt-relevant/
“Sugar is not a criterion because added sugar and natural sugars have similar effects on the body and based on the current level of evidence, sugar is not directly linked to [heart disease], diabetes, or obesity.”

I know, right.... the way I found it's evilness...was I set a pan out to throwaway and it rained in it, splattering up on the siding of the house...after a few days, I couldn't get it off the siding...so my thought was " what's it doing to my arteries"....0 -
The comforting drivel in this 2009 article might be funny as a matter of historical curiosity - if it weren't so sad to see it currently disgracing Consumer Reports' website:
#4 from CR's 10 Diabetes Myths Debunked:
Myth: People with diabetes have to follow a special diet.\
Fact: A healthy diet for a person with diabetes is typically identical to a healthy diet for anyone else.
It should include a variety of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, low-fat dairy products, and moderate amounts of healthier fats such as those found in olive and canola oil.
And yes, people with diabetes can still enjoy sweets as long as they work them into their meal plan carefully.

That is... Really disturbing.

It has to do with how the oil behaves when it oxidizes and dries. Certain oils create a sort of "rubbery" layer that's impressively durable. Interestingly, Canola's not one of them, though the oil may have reacted to the siding (especially if it's wood and painted) and created a layer that is partially canola and partially paint oil.
Here's a fun fact for you: you can make outdoor house paint with flour, linseed oil (flax seed oil), and pigment -- https://artdec.ca/en/blog/2/flour-paint-an-easy-to-prepare-non-toxic-long-lasting-and-dirt-cheap-exteri
It works the same way most oil paints work -- the linseed oil, when it oxidizes, gives the paint a durable, rubbery texture that (because it's oil) resists water. Safflower, sunflower, and walnut have the same characteristics, and these oils are considered "drying oils" by painters, because they actually dry when exposed to air.0 -

Pretty sure he's referring to chronic, "idiopathic" inflammation and pain. "Just take ibuprofen" is the common response to anyone suffering from chronic pain, because it's believed that there's no real cause or cure and you just have to live with it and "manage" it.
However, chronic intake of either has been shown to cause GI, kidney, and liver damage. Tylenol has also been linked to increased incidence of high blood pressure and heart attack risk.

Ok that makes sense (if chronic inflammation/pain is what OP was referring to). While I understand that eating an anti-inflammatory diet and being healthy and fit is the gold standard, I am not above better living through pharmaceuticals!0 -

Ibuprofen totally eats my stomach lining. It's good for occasional use in the event of sickness or injury but I have RA and can't afford to take it often.
