  Many people believe that sugar is bad for their health;   1   say that sugar is the best source of energy.We also hear similar conflicting arguments about meat between vegetarians and meat-eaters.Who is right and what is your opinion? Are you easily influenced by one   2   of advice today and then by another one tomorrow?

  Obviously, you might think that   3  (go)to extremes is not the right way, for the importance of having a variety of food in one’s diet is quite clear today.Scientists have again and   4   warned us that   5   lack of certain kinds of food is dangerous,   6   for children, because   7   a balanced diet, their body can’t grow properly.Scientists have also told us, “Having too much of anything, including one’s favorite food, is equally dangerous.”

  They say, for example, children   8   eat lots of cheeseburgers and milk shakes will increase the risk of heart attack.

  Therefore, it seems that perhaps the most intelligent thing for us to do is not to eat first but to read first.  9  (science)information about the body’s needs for fats and proteins, for minerals and vitamins, can help us decide on the right choice and the right amount.And it can also help us tell facts   10   misleading opinions.

Facebook means never having to say goodbye. The social media web site has earned a reputation for reconnecting old friends. Last week, a guy whom I hadn't seen since my bachelor party five years ago sent me a friend request. I accepted and waited for him to send me a greeting of some kind. He had sought me out, after all.
I learned from his profile that he was in a relationship and had a son. However, I'm pretty sure we won’t ever write wall-to-wall, let alone e-mail each other. But he'll remain a friend of online until one of us makes a point of removing the other from his official list.
My pool of friends consists of family members, college buddies, co-workers from past and present, and friends of friends. There are 35 in all. If I spent some time uploading old e-mail addresses, I'm confident that I could increase my friend count actually.
A person could make a mission out of reconnecting with childhood friends, former classmates, distant cousins, and those one would like to get to know better. And some people can even handle hundreds of on-screen relationships, keeping up with the daily happenings of their small army of companions. After all, there are worse fates than having too many friends.
Thanks to e-mail, the inability to schedule face-to-face meetings no longer means a friendship must come to a close. But even with e-mail, people will lose touch if one or both parties stop writing back. That's normal. People move from school to school, job to job, city to city. You never have to feel guilty for breaking away.
Every day, the masterminds of Web 2. 0 find new ways of making human communication easier. However, convenience can be a crutch. Some things shouldn't be simplified. When it comes to friendship, there can be no shortcuts.
