Read about the cruel treatment I suffered at the Sheffield Dental Hospital: Long In The Toothache
You can contact me by email from my website. The site does not sell anything and has no banners, sponsors or adverts - just helpful information about how salt can cause obesity.

Don't damage your health for the sake of being polite
Don't damage your health for the sake of appearing polite
to your host/hostess/family/fellow guests, etc! - The Christmas season can be a
difficult time for people who are trying to avoid foodstuffs and drinks that
they know are harmful to them. - If your host/ess is pressing you to have a
second helping when you've really had enough, or tempting you to a salty food or
sugary confection you would rather forego, be resolute! - Just politely say, 'No
thank you'. - You do not have to give a reason (which could invite dissension). -
Be polite, clear and firm. - If you waver and allow yourself to be persuaded against your better judgment, you may find your tempter conclude that
you did want it after all and that you are someone who usually needs to be asked
more than once. Similarly if you would prefer not to have a cigarette or an
alcoholic drink. - Resist the "Go on! - It's Christmas! - It won't harm you to
have a little drink/treat once in a while!" - That may - or more likely may
not - be true, but you are an autonomous adult and should be allowed to
make your own decisions about whether to partake or not. It is not obligatory to
over-indulge when you'd rather not.
