From jeffooi.com This is an anecdote pinned on the noticeboard of the dietetics department at Monash University, Melbourne:
NUTRITION FACTS
Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attack than the
Aussies, British or Americans.
Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attack than the
Aussies, British or Americans.
African drinks very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attack than
the Aussies, British or Americans.
Italian drink large amount of red wine and suffer fewer heart attack
than the Aussies, British or Americans.
Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and
suffer fewer heart attack than the Aussies, British or Americans.
CONCLUSION
Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
one of the comments given there:
Jeff, I take the above "NUTRITION FACTS" seriously as it is exactly what "Enzymes and Microbial Technolgy" is all about. Japanese, Mexican and African eat more raw meat & vege than the Aussies, British or Americans. Italian & Germans drink more wine than the Aussies, British or Americans. Remember that raw meat, vegi, Kimchi ,sake and wine are rich in enzymes due to it’s nature or by the fermentation process. This is also why Eskimos are healthier even though they eat lot of meat (raw, not cooked). The the problem with Aussies, British or Americans is because they eat too much "cooked" food.
This also explains why less Korean & Japanese are hit by Bird Flu or MAd Cow decease.

Anyway, I think I should be healthier then the rest of you cos I made the enzymes at home and my English is No Good
