According to the UK liberal Independent newspaper, Donald Trump is “showing a lot of signs” of dangerous mental impairment and may be a threat to the survival of American society, citing a leading Yale psychiatrist. In an exclusive interview with The Independent, Yale University’s Dr Bandy Lee said she had seen a “marked surge” in violence among her own patients since the day of Mr Trump’s election, blaming his strong rhetoric.

I bet Dr Bandy Lee voted for Clinton too. This sort of news degrades professional integrity and newspapers are shameful to chaise circulation with these cheap tactics.

The new study zeroes in on the importance of daily exercise and a Mediterranean diet but those most at risk will zero in on the simple conclusion that saturated fats are OK – they’ll probably continue to pop their statins despite warnings about their effectiveness with above recommended levels of alcohol.

It’s a mess and the government should step in and recommend good practice in simple advice. Perhaps its time for people who ignore good healthcare practice to start paying towards their health costs?
