She's been preaching this rubbish for years .... Her 'Top ten killers' list was first published in 2017 or thereabouts:

From the rhubarb warning, oxalic acid causes kidney stones - who knew

I'll pass on the bullfrogs though...

I've been eating honey straight from the hive, in tablespoonful quantities ,off and on for eighty five years.
If it is going to get me it needs to get a move on

She forgot the warning that eating honey may make your brain turn to custard..

After all, her's did.

She seems to be a fan of Dunkin Donuts, which are the most chemical tasting things I've come across outside of a lab.

This is all just in the nick of time - I was running out of things to worry about. Those water facts are particularly concerning as it has been raining here all week.

What a twisted world we live in. Pure water is actually harmful to drink. Mix it with honey and a little salt in the right proportions and it becomes a life saver.

Or of course with a whisky

I understand pure H2O by itself wouldn't save you if you were dehydrated, but why is it actually harmful to drink?

Well I ran a London marathon once and plenty of runners got into trouble with hyponatremia from drinking too much during the run. There's this idea that feeling dizzy and nauseous crossing the finishing line is due to dehydration as well so they drink more........ ooops

"Hyponatremia"- Lack of salt/s? Clubbers have done the same thing, haven't they, thinking that they needed to drink water after taking Ecstasy. But drinking too much water is a different matter from H20 by itself being 'harmful'.
(Am v impressed by people able to run marathons!!)

Reminds me of the story of WC Fields in his later years - by this time his Alcoholism whas quickly killing him (he was drinking, I think three bottles of gin a day) So Mae West decided to water down his second and third bottles. His reaction? apparently he said

"M'dear - I don't drink water - fish F*** in it!"​

"M'dear - I don't drink water - fish F*** in it!"

True story, Ive seen them doing it - well a version of it anyway

When the subject of running comes up here I often pass the following comment:

If you ever see me running, Please kill what ever the F*** is chasing me!
