Benefit of Moderate Drinking, Germs in Gut Drive Appetite, and 22-Year-Old UK Hospital Patient Dies of Thirst
The good news: Moderate drinkers gain less weight than nondrinkers. The bad news: You only get two drinks per day.
Appetite is in the gut. Well, okay, it’s the germs in the gut.
UK patient, dying of thirst, unsuccessfully calls police to beg for water. Is this system still “the envy of the world”?
Only two drinks? That’s a downer.
I bet anything the Labour Party still says the NHS is the envy of the world. Facts don’t get in the way of ideology.
I’ll be reading the entire 2-drink article over a glass of wine tonight.
It will be part of my new diet.
That and the chocolate-chip-cookies-don’t-make-you-fat article.

Do you suppose this is what Paul Krugman had in mind when he said other countries guarantee that people get all essential care?
I’m with Bruce. Couldn’t we up it to three drinks.
Obese people have different species of bacteria in their gut that skinny people. I wonder when they will sequence the genomes of the 1000 different types of bacteria that colonize the gut? Maybe drug makers could then concoct a “skinny” pill (probably a capsule) that consists of short-lived bacteria that (if taken daily) will kill off the “fat” bacteria in your gut and colonize it with the skinny bacteria. Sort of like the yogurt that promises to make you “regular” except this stuff would make you skinny.
