Smoking

It is not beyond possible that we will soon have the answer as to how some people can drink and smoke without detectable deleterious effects.

The best lead we have is that the accuracy and efficacy of our DNA checking proteins which detect and fix mutations varies. So if your suite of DNA duplicating, checking and fixing genes is top notch then you might be okay kind of thing.

But don’t expect science to trumpet the finding or put them in plain language. We don’t want anyone to come asking for tests so they can abuse their bodies.

You might come over all libertarian and say you have a right to do so except we have ‘socialised’ medicine here in Blighty and so taxpayers have to pay to pick up the pieces. Why yes, I hardly drink, have never smoked, lifelong distance runner and eat a healthy diet free from most processed foods. I have a big pot of multi bean (9 of them) chilli in the slow cooker. Not a processed food in there unless you count a tin of chopped tomatoes in juice.

I shall have some on rice for dinner tonight then perhaps with home made tortilla chips (make tortilla, cut into wedges, deep fry) or on buckwheat groats. I will also make pasties filled with some of it and freeze them for later. I suppose they will be processed but I will know everything which goes into them.

Last night I had bangers and mash. The bangers I made myself, gluten free pork, apple and cider sausages. I made the mash from spuds, cut up the onion myself. I did use frozen veg but I don’t regard a bag of frozen peas as processed. For desert I had a scoop of home made lactose free roasted hazelnut ice cream (it’s autumn so hazelnut ice cream time). I enjoy cooking and making so it isn’t usually a chore but a joy and something creative.

For cider apple bangers buy a bag of dried apple, cut into chunks and soak overnight in cider. Drain, freeze and mince with the pork. Fill into casings of your choice. I use natural casings.
