Things that make you go Hmmmm

And for those of you who watch what you eat, here is one final thought on nutrition and health. It is the only possible conclusion that can be drawn from so many conflicting nutritional studies:

People in Japan eat very little fat in their diet and they suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
Conversely, people in Mexico eat a lot of fat in their diet, yet they still suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
People in China drink very little red wine and they suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
People in Italy drink a lot of red wine and they also suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
People in Germany drink a lot of beer – and not “lite” beer – and eat plenty of sausages and fats, yet they too suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
So what’s the conclusion? Eat and drink what you like. It isn’t the food, fat or alcohol that will kill you, it’s speaking English.

I stole borrowed this from Carrie Nelson's blog. It makes so much more sense than what I have heard from doctor's or read in Reader's Digest.
