I confess I've never tasted Uncle Ben's ... mainly because I don't believe he knows where there is a bunnies nest in the woods.

The NHS is to offer screening for illnesses to everyone aged 40 to 74.

Health Secretary Alan Johnson is due to outline the scheme, which will check for diseases that kill 170,000 people a year.

Check-ups over a full English brekky to help along heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease are being made available on the NHS to focus attention on getting shut of all you moaning old bastards to eradicate the  clogging up of our wonderful deliberately filthy hospitals with your constant whinging and whining ailments.
It's estimated that early 'coffin of the clogs' could save Brown and his mates many tens of millions every year in reduced pension pay outs.

But not for themselves, obviously.

Let us encourage John Prescott and SpeakerMartin to eat more pies.

I think I may start a "Send a Pie to your MP Fund" at the bar. eveilgrin:

Rejoice! Haleybloodyluya!! Get the kettle on!

As little as one cup of coffee a day could have a protective effect against Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia, according to new research.

A daily dose of caffeine blocks the disruptive effects of high cholesterol that scientists have linked to the disease, a study has found.

The findings, in the Journal of Neuroinflammation, were based on research by scientists at the University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences.

In the study, researchers gave rabbits 3mg of caffeine each day, the equivalent of a daily cup of coffee for an average-sized person. The rabbits were fed a cholesterol-enriched diet during this time.
After 12 weeks, a number of laboratory tests showed that the blood brain barrier - which protects the central nervous system from the rest of the body's circulation - was "significantly" more intact in rabbits receiving a daily dose of caffeine.


No mention of causing cancer of anything, so it must be safe...today. ::)
No doubt some smart arse will be along shortly to 'piss in me brew' so to speak. ::)

I am of the opinion (he intoned pompously) that it is all, not to put too fine a point upon it, a load of bollox.

I have given up so many things, on the promise that I will live longer etc ...... and I find that in fact I will still die at the appointed time. I will not live longer but it will feel as if it is a long time.
