DIETS
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 medical studies:
1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Americans, Australians, British, or Canadians.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the Americans, Australians, British, or Canadians.
3. The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Americans, Australians, British, or Canadians.
4. The Italians drink large amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the Americans, Australians, British, or Canadians.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Americans, Australians, British, or Canadians.
6. Ukrainians drink a lot of vodka, eat a lot of perogies, cabbage
rolls and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Americans, Australians,
British, or Canadians.

Clearly the answer, if you live in America, Australia, Britain or Canada, is to move. I'm packing as I type! :)

It's not your diet that kills - it's speaking English! :Chuckle:
Still reckon the only effective in the world is the lemon diet. You wake up in the morning and eat six lemons - by the time your mouth unpuckers luch and dinner are over :rotfl:
