“We’re Doing It Wrong – A study said so”

Oh my! I just read that a study has shown that we may get really sick if we wash our clothes in cold water.  Why, our clothes could be just full of all kinds of nasty germs. I know, I’ll start pulling all the clothes out and rewashing then, a few at a time, to kill ‘em all  - just in case. I guess that means I have to throw out my favorite wool sweater and the silk scarf too.

But wait, didn’t the study last week say there wasn’t enough bacteria in our bodies? Yes, I remember, it said we were sterilizing everything to death – literally. That killing off all the bacteria in our world was causing everything, from cancer to car accidents.

A new study said eggs are good for you after all and help your body digest cholesterol. My doctor had been telling me for years that studies said eggs were bad and would make my cholesterol higher. What a relief! I love eggs and not eating them did nothing to lower my cholesterol anyway. Now I know why, the study says so.

You know, I really hate making my bed every morning, I wonder if there is a study on how psychologically destructive that might be? If I can’t find one, I could always apply for a grant to study the issue.
