One of the less believable stories that I read last week was that a company in North Carolina were selling kegs of beer with fake labels. Reading that summary you might assume that they were passing their beer off as some fine European lager, but no they were claiming that it was Bud Light. It is shocking to think that there is a beer so bad, so flavourless that Bud Light was seen as an improvement.
Fast Flights
There has been some recent research reported on NPR and on various web sites that you can recover from jet-lag more quickly if you fast yourself for sixteen hours. The article quotes all sorts of medical jargon like “circadian clock”, but I suspect that this an elaborate ruse to allow the airlines to stop serving food on trans-continental flights. I can be very picky about the medical advice I accept, despite the suspicious origin, I believe the University of Bordeaux’s research into the health benefits of red wine.
