2 extracts from a journal watch I like to read:

You are vitamin D deficient, very probably, and this is making your muscles ache, slowing you brain, thinning your bones and making you more likely to get cancer and heart disease. The secret of the Mediterranean is not its food but its sunshine. Or both. Go on, take your clothes off, get outside, and eat lots of oily fish, cheese, wild fungi and eggs. Abandon your miserable existence in the dark North and start living before it is too late. Alternatively, get a sunbed and take large daily supplements of vitamin D. It’s the elixir of life, according to this very thorough and plausible review. http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/extract/357/3/266

A confession: I have never really used risk scores much. Does anybody? I used to try in the days of the Sheffield tables, whose greens and reds adorned my wall until quite recently, but damn it, if you smoke you need to stop, if you don’t drink wine you need to start, if your systolic BP is above 150 it needs to be lower and if your cholesterol is over 6 and you’re male, you need a statin. If you’re diabetic or you’ve got bad coronaries you need the whole works. But if you need some kind of quantification for an untreated patient, then QRISK probably beats the old Framingham score. http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/abstract/335/7611/136

Do you derive some sort of health benefit from posting useless bullshit on the internet?

Every person's body is different. Some people react to alcohol in a way that causes them to gain weight, increase hunger, and spike insulin. You can't just make blanket statements about diet, especially involving carbohydrates. Probably 40% of people, and 95% of overwieght people are intolerant to some kind of carbohydrate.

P.S. there is a chemical in red grapes that will slow your aging, go out and buy those now.

P.P.S. this message brought to you by the consortium for red grape consumption
