Wanna lose weight?

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.

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