What Health24 users say about health: part 2

accreditation

From being friends with benefits to sleeping positions and passionate smokers, our Health24 users are continually interacting with this. This is what they are talking about.   

On friends with benefits

“Not at all. Don’t think meaningless shaggin’ can never ever have no strings attached, especially on women side. They would be lying if they said yes. Therefore women must never agree to this. Ladies, have dignity and do it in an honest relationship that is two way. Women aren’t that strong when it comes to this, ‘friends with benefits’ thing,” said Sebe.

On sleeping positions

“I sleep on my stomach and fold legs on either sides, very seldom on my back,” said Vida.

On proposed smoking licence

 “I think this whole smoking license is absurd. To smoke or not to smoke is a personal choice and no one has the right to make decisions on your behalf. I am a smoker, and abide to all law enforced regulations for smoking, why does it feel that we as smokers are being pushed into a corner and just have to sit back and except every decision that are being forced upon is,” said Nazleen.

On body flaws

“I refer to your "slide show" on 5 design flaws of the human body. Not only has ALL of these so-called "flaws" been disproved but "journalists" still flaunt this one-sided view to unsuspecting audiences. If the person responsible for publishing these lies would have done their research properly they would have found that these designs are not flaws but have proper medical reasons. They can just go to www.creation.com and search on any of these items to learn some facts that have been proven by credible scientific contributors. This is just another example of poor journalism and shoddy education,” Riette.
