A doctor was giving a serious health lecture to a packed audience in New York.
He began dramatically:
“Folks, some of the things we put into our stomachs are enough to cause serious trouble over the years.”
“Red meat can be unhealthy. Soft drinks can damage your teeth and stomach. Chinese food can contain a lot of sodium, and high-fat diets can cause all kinds of problems.”
He paused and looked around the room.
“And let’s not forget the long-term effects of unhealthy food choices.”
Then he asked,
“But can anyone tell me which food causes the most suffering for years after you eat it?”
The room went completely silent.
After a few seconds, an elderly man sitting in the front row slowly raised his hand.
The doctor smiled.
“Yes, sir?”
The old man calmly replied,
“Wedding cake.”
The entire audience burst out laughing.
The doctor shook his head.
“Well… that’s one diet warning I definitely didn’t see coming.”
