Hark at the latest round of policy-based evidence-making from the Nanny Statists..
…
Health professionals will be able to calculate a patient’s "brain age" based on their weight, exercise habits, cholesterol levels and alcohol intake to see if their lifestyle is affecting their risk of developing diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Oh really? How convenient that the government’s pet niggles about our national stubbornness in the face of their whining about diet, exercise and drinking that they now find themselves able to assert that one of the most ignominious of endings awaits anyone who doesn’t subscribe to their narrow and flawed recipe for ‘good living’ .
Scary.
Utter bollocks more like.
And here’s the actual tragedy… what if they are actually right this time, but we’re so sick and tired of listening to their whiny nagging bullshit, we’re not listening at all any more?
Meh.

I used to work as a psychiatric nurse (before they closed the hospital and decided that park benches and prisons were better places for people with mental health problems). I was always told that possibly the only advantage to cigarettes is that they reduce the risk of Alzheimers. Perhaps the government should advise us to start somking again.
