Friends... this article is ABSURD. It is based purely on OPINION and nothing else. (and you know, opinions are like a**, everyone has one). There are scientific or statistical evidence to contradict most of the things mentioned.... thouhg in other sense, you mention absolutely any food item and you can find something BAD in it.... Raw carrot... well, bad.. bad... no matter how much you clean them, there are dirt, bacteria, bugs poop remaining on them... point is, just because you can find one thing bad in any food does not mean they are bad for health....

the prime example mentioned above is RICE -- not only it is absurd opinion above about whether its healthy or not, Tynan went ahead to mention that " I seriously don’t understand why people eat rice. It doesn’t even taste good".... it shows he/she's like a frog in a pond for whom the pond is the world... the above sentence is not only offensive, it takes away whatever little credibility anyone can associate with this article....

so, readers, read this article as any other opinion and just don't make it change your healthy lifestyle for a bad one....
