Well, well. Who Knew?

I picked this up from a magazine not so long ago:

Did you know?

• The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British and Americans?
• The French eat a lot of fat and also have fewer heart attacks than the British and Americans?
• The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British and the Americans?
• The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British and the Americans?

Conclusion: Eat and drink what you like. What kills you is speaking English.

Another thing mentioned here was that: American consumers spend about 12 bilion dollars on vitamins and dietart supplements a year (1999). Japan, with less than half the population, spends almost 11 billion dollars a year.

Interesting huh?
