Four dead after receiving flu shots; Alzheimer's caused by the common cold?

Though four people died just after receiving flut shots, Israeli officials are quick to say there is "no direct link." Of course. Yeah, right. How many times will people fall for this one? "Vaccinations will start (again) this evening," Health Minister Yaacov Ben-Yizri said, before himself receiving an inoculation live on television to demonstrate its safety." The program was re-started less than five days after the fourth man dropped dead two hours after receiving his shot.

A new theory is making the rounds that viruses related to the common cold are the real culprit for the memory loss of Alzheimer's disease.

Drink up! A drink or two a day keeps the heart surgeon away. The statistics in this study are staggering (if you'll pardon both the alliteration and the pun) — From 1986 to 2002, 106 of the 9,000 men followed had heart attacks. Of these men, eight were among the 1,282 who drank about two drinks a day, nine were among the 714 who had over two drinks a day, and 28 were among the 1,889 men who did not drink at all.
