I bet food manufacturer’s were rubbing their hands with glee, hoping their produce would turn out to be the foodie equivalent of ‘Protect & Perfect‘ when they heard Prof. Regan was back on TV.

I know I couldn’t wait to discover the latest product to win her endorsement so that I could acquire it in my ever increasing quest to remain permanently youthful.

What a disappointment! It turns out those ’superfoods’ I’ve been ramming down my neck aren’t going to help in my fight against old age any more than good old common or garden fruit & veg. Pro-biotics won’t suddenly give me back my youthful energy, and, as I have always suspected, organic is just another label designed to fleece more money out of the middle class consumer. Although this was mainly because there are no conclusive studies to suggest otherwise, as yet!

I did visit the web page after the show to try and discover if the fish oil’s I have been religiously feeding my children, will actually enable them to follow the highly academic carer paths I have chosen for them (or just help them do their homework unassisted!), but could not find any legible conclusion. Perhaps I should start taking them!

In fact one of the few benefits to be found was in Benecol, and that was only if you suffered from high cholesterol, which luckily I don’t.
