The final word on nutrition and health

The final word on nutrition and health, combining the
results of many independent health studies.

1 The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart
attacks than the Canadians, British, Australians or
Americans.

2 The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart
attacks than the Canadians, British, Australians or
Americans.

3 The Chinese drink very little read wine and suffer fewer
heart attacks than the Canadians, British, Australians or
Americans.

4 The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and
suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians, British,
Australians or Americans.

5 The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages
and fats, and suffer fewer heart attacks than the Canadians,
British, Australians or Americans.

6 The Ukrainians drink a lot of vodka, eat a lot of perogies
and cabbage roles and suffer fewer heart attacks than the
Canadians, British, Australians or Americans.

Conclusion: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is
apparently what kills you.
