I'm in the Thinority

A recent study on 1200 Adelaide men between 35 and 80 has determined that 80 percent are overweight or obese.

"Australian men are dying earlier - often with preventable underlying conditions - and suffer higher rates of physical and psychological disease than women", the expert leading the study said. The findings of this study are consistent with other studies across Australia.

"Together with the overall ageing population, this has serious implications for the community and economy."

Looks like a ticking time bomb for later life health spending in South Australia.

Yes It Does No It Doesn't

Yesterday noteable HIV Aids Experts were testifying for the prosecution in a case in the South Australian Supreme Court to debunk some Perth based medical researchers, who had denied the existence of HIV/Aids and its ability to be spread by hetrosexual sex. All this in defence of man accused of spreading aids to three women. At the same time, Lachlan Murdoch and Ian Thorpe were in Papua New Guinea supporting a business initiative to address the rampant spread of HIV Aids there. Some experts predict that up to 30 percent of the future workforce of Papua New Guinea may be wiped out by HIV Aids. Interesting that science could be so far apart on such a matter. I mean there must be many people with political agendas to deny HIV/Aids, but I had no idea that there was any kind of scientific denial.
