There is a always enough hype about diets going around to fill tabloids and self-help books.  Among the taboos are eating fat and drinking alcohol.

Consider this about fat:

• The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
• The French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

And this about red wine:

• The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
• The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

One can only draw the reasonable conclusion:
Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
