Repeated use [of caffeine and alcohol] wears the body down and makes you look older.

Wells, that's what flaxseed is for. It counters the alcohol and caffeine. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

I hope that flaxseed and other healthful oils are in the "good calories" category. That's because my daily dose of two tablespoons of the stuff contains 480 calories, about what lunch should contain. And it's nowhere near filling enough to be lunch.

On the other hand, as long as I low-carb, I can slurp all the flax oil and eat all the goat cheese, avocados, ribs and bacon that I want and never gain an ounce.

As far as looking older, most people assume I'm five to ten years younger than I actually am. So according to decath, if not for the all the caffeine and alcohol, I'd look like I'm 40.<g>
