    This is the same junk as The Secret.

    Those ideas date back millennia, there's never a shortage of shysters selling a lie.

    Should we be calling this New New Age? Because this is basically New Age quackery making a comeback without even bothering to change anything.

    Don't be like that. It is well up to the standard to be expected of the BBC.

    Ah, again....I am thinking very positively about that big lottery win coming my way!

    ;)

    And, at last, where has this fact been hiding? It's nice to know indulgent foods won't make me put on weight!

    :p
