Drinking beer 'good for bones'
Drinking a pint of beer a day may be good for your bones and help stave off osteoporosis in later life, researchers have said. Studies carried out at St Thomas' Hospital in London tested the bone-strengthening powers of beer by getting healthy individuals aged between 18 and 50 to drink beers with varying alcoholic contents. Over a six-hour period, it was found that the ethanol in the beer succeeded in inhibiting the action of hormones in the body known to cause the gradual weakening of the bones, possibly leading to osteoporosis in later life. In fact, the results showed that the beneficial effect of ethanol consumption on bone-loss prevention was comparable with that of calcium. Commenting on the findings, Professor Jonathan Powell, who led the research, said: "This is a very interesting finding. Everyone knows that calcium inhibits bone loss but we found that the ethanol in beer has the same, if not better, effect." "Moderation, of course, is the key, and we know that drinking too much beer can have real adverse effects," he added. Osteoporosis is currently estimated to affect more than three million people in the UK, with women more susceptible than men, and the over-50s most likely to develop the condition.

the concept of "fun-sized" apples is quite funny. you must make food fun so kids will eat it and want to put it into their lunchboxes.
well my interpretation of why fun-sized apples are fun is that they are as big and as heavy as a baseball, and you must resist the temptation of running off to one side of the field and giving them a long throw all the way to the other side.

this is quite ridiculous.
what kind of crazy bugger decides to not hand up a form and then tell the whole of singapore that he did?
some people only know how to look for trouble.
sigh the thorny issue of politics. things you don't talk about over family dinner. the things that people in politics know not to talk about over dinner. the things that get blown up with misinformation. the things that involve nice little slogans to legitimate the existence of organisations that in reality don't exactly follow them. the things that really have no right and wrong. the things that outsiders love to criticise but yet they would do the same thing were they in your shoes. the things that you really have no right in criticising unless you've actually been in it. the things that everyone has their own opinion about. the things you should never talk to me about because i can't be bothered to go into a 3 hour argument about it. the things that involve disgrunted masses who can't be bothered to do anything about it except complain.
irritations aside, the fact that granny got to vote and it made her day justifies the whole of singapore declaring an election day in any case.
