For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on
nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those
conflicting nutritional studies.
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than
Australians.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than
Australians.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks
than Australians.
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks
than Australians...
5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and
suffer fewer heart attacks than Australians.
CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently
what kills you.
