Dying for a sausage? As yet another study says too much red meat could kill us, the truth is you needn't give up that juicy steak after all

They clearly do not understand what "too much" means.

A nation addicted to statins: We would rather pop a pill than live a healthy life, warns Oxford University professor

Maybe they wouldn't be so popular if papers like the Mail and Express weren't constantly promoting them as wonder drugs?

From what I know in the States elevated levels of cholesterol may not necessarily be sufficiently
reduced by lowering cholesterol intake alone.

My mother when she was alive had high cholesterol and she ate like a bird.

I've seen similar research which says that for many people diet alone doesn't do much (or anything) but Statins sort the problem cheaply, easily and mostly without side effects.

I've been on Statins for 5 years but whenever I go and see my GP he always makes it clear that I need to be careful about what I eat and try and lose weight. Whilst a doctor can ensure you have the correct medicine there really is little a GP can do to ensure patients are eating a healthy diet. When I went to see my GP last week I was the last patient of the day so after he had done all the tests etc we had a chat and he showed me a list of new initiatives that he was meant to implement and he basically said it would be physically impossible to carry most of them out unless he worked 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Professor Sarah Harper, director of Oxford University’s institute of population ageing, said the country’s love affair with medicine means we choose to pop pills rather than follow a healthy lifestyle.

Not a medical doctor then?

She has opinions on the pension age.

Scrap pension age, academic says

Perhaps if we all had lives that were as much mun as hers we could all opt for a healthier lifestyle.

I wonder how many lives would be saved if the UK reduced the country's stress by not printing the mail?

Freedom of the press I guess.....

Rush hour horror as woman is DECAPITATED by lorry in hit-and-run... and workmen post sick pictures of her body on Twitter

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... itter.html

Because the Mail has never posted sick pictures of bodies - viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3842

Twitter, it's the new Facebook.

Naturaly no comments currently allowed, although you know they would let them if they could.

The Mail always tries to portray itself as te party of law and order so why have hey paid £300 for a reporter to have lunch with a notorious criminal?

Managed to get this comment under the story.

I thought there were strict rules banning journalists from paying criminals for information. Do these rules not apply when the criminal in question is semi retired?

Always remember when the Krays' "enforcer" Tony Lambrianou was on the After Dark (great show) talk show on Ch 4 way back. When confronted then with the allegation that he once "nailed a man's feet to the floorboards" he replied with a straight face, that incident was "taken out of context".
You could not make it up.

Disgrace of PC in drunken race rant: Scotland Yard's racism crisis deepens as vile abuse of Asian shop manager is revealed

Some of the incidents sound familiar:

Quote:

In an appalling drunken outburst, PC Philip Juhasz, 31, told the Pakistani to ‘go back to your f****** country’.

Never seen that in the Mail comments.

Quote:

PC Alex MacFarlane (pictured) is heard telling a suspect: 'The problem with you is you will always be a n*****'

Perhaps he was just referring to Guy Gibson's dog.
