    I don't like to report that I didn't eat too well today. I found it difficult to drink much milk at all with my breakfast cereal as I didn't feel like having it too much having been informed it may contain pus. I tend to overthink things and I've been thinking about it ever since. Sometimes ignorance is bliss, but with the genie having been let out of the bottle, it can't go back and I can't 'unlearn' that information. Nor did I eat many sandwiches at lunch, as they had butter or spread on them and, of course, that contains buttermilk. The meat on the sandwiches probably contained blood and faecal remnants, the fruit, including apples, I had with them was probably trod by numerous flies and not washed off completely and absolutely and, if it was, the water itself would have copper contamination and thus contaminated the apples with that. But I did eat the fruit, together with drinking my water bottled in Armathwaite, Cumbria which isn't a million miles away from a place called Sellafield.

    I've looked again on the internet tonight regarding milk. I do not know what or who to believe. Some sources are saying the pus would be very concentrated (or should that be extremely diluted?) - http://nutritionfacts.org/2011/09/08/how-much-pus-is-there-in-milk/ - in effect a drop of pus in a cup of milk.

    However it may also appear that they are talking about somatic cells, which are the cells that form pus rather than necessarily pus itself. I suppose it's a bit like the water source of a factory which occasionally allows a drop of some nasty liquid into the water, like a drop of grey paint or something. Then again the Wikipedia article on "pus" - and I don't know what to believe or whether to believe this as I do not have a PhD in biological science - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pus - says that pus consists of protein-rich fluid. Surely, then, protein is a good thing?

    I suppose everything in the environment eco-system feeds on everything else. And I'm sure the bread used for my sandwiches had contact with the air and had dust particles on it too. That said I was perfectly happy eating my cereal and drinking milk for many decades, until today. In my slight anxiety I've probably made it worse as I sipped a little less and didn't drink the remainder so, if there was any pus cell in it, it's probably been magnified more because I drank less of the milk in total - whereas I had drank as much as normal, it would have been further diluted and form a lesser percentage. My 'aim' was to reduce the likelihood of taking pus by drinking less of the milk, but, if it was there, it's formed a greater percentage of the smaller amount of milk that I drank. So I'd probably made matters worse.

    It's caused me no known harm over decades. Yet I wonder whether this is simply another lie that my parents and teachers told me, just like parents and teachers of everyone, I assume, did. Is there anything left that parents/teachers said that actually turns out to be true - or was everything they said lies? "Father Christmas". "The Tooth Fairy". "There are nine planets in the solar system". Perhaps "milk is good for you" - maybe I need to add that now?

    Oh dear Savvy, you have really let it get to you :o Sounds like you are over thinking a few things. I won't tell you not to because I know better :p
    I think you just have to apply a little 'sense' to the thoughts that are affecting you......not eating and drinking as much ISNT good for you. You have sense in abundance, we all know that. If you really can't face the milk, maybe look at alternatives? :kisses3:
