The Twinkie Diet wins!

A Nutrition Professor put himself on a diet where 2/3 of his food intake was Twinkies, Debbie Cakes, Oreos, Doritos and other "bad foods".
By controlling his caloric intake, he lost 27 pounds in 2 months, reduced his bad cholesterol and triglycerides, increased his good cholesterol, and decreased his body fat.
His diet included daily vitamins and protein shakes as well as vegetables like green beans and celery.
Mark Haub stresses that the long-term effects of such a diet are unknown and does not recommend it as a healthy approach to weight loss.

You know that there are people starting his diet right this minute.

I'll drink to that!

We have had all of human history to study the effects of alcohol on human health.
Researchers claim that people that drink two alcoholic beverages a day are more likely to live longer, have less coronary artery disease, fewer strokes, and slower cognitive decline.
As sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, there will be another study saying this is wrong.
Until that happens, bottoms up!

(Over)Work/Life Balance

File this one under "Duh!":
British researchers followed thousands of civil servants for more than a decade and found that regular and excessive overtime led to increased health issues.
While they conclude that the study is not definitive, they do state that there is enough evidence to show long hours are a health risk.
Your boss will be happy to note their conclusion that an occasional long day or even an hour or two on a regular basis is not considered a risk.
It is only the regular 10 or 11 hour day that will have you using your sick days for cardiac intervention (great news, eh?).
