Saw this on another forum based in the UK:
1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
3. Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
4. Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us.
5. Germans drink beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than us..
6. The French eat foie-Gras, full fat cheese and drink red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than us
CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
I am just going out for a Big Mac and fries then down to the pub for a drinkie or two...

A Very Astute Observation
A Very Astute Observation, and it very likely has much truth to it. But on a serious note, if you want to learn more about what is behind the world's heart disease, go see the movie 'Forks Over Knives' (www.forksoverknives.com). It has a likely answer for many of our ills that is within our control.

87%
Only 13% of traffic accidents are caused by drunken drivers.
So 87% are caused by drivers whithout the influence of alcohol.

Dont drink and drive.

Growing old disgracefully.
UK Stats
Back when Edwina Curry was Minister of Health there were lots of statistics and scares.
The standing joke then was eat drink and be merry and smoke a lot for healthy eating kills.

There's also the old chestnut
95% of Americans die after being seen by a doctor. Only 10% die from gunshot wounds. Therefore ban doctors, they're 9 times more dangerous than firearms.

This is your Captain speaking...
Some decades ago performance artist Laurie Anderson suggested that the way to avoid being blown up by a terrorist bomb while flying was to pack a bomb in your luggage. Because while the chances of there being a bomb on board were slim, the odds of there being TWO bombs on the same plane were infintisimal...

The thing to do
According to George Burns was to live to be 100, because very people die after getting to a hundred.
