Daily Mail scare stories: Asian-induced heart attacks and other ‘crimes’
It’s Death Tuesday in the Daily Mail: let’s get looking for new ways to fall ill and die. Last week the Mail was full of questions and disasters that “may” happen:
Page 36: “Pitfall; of having your eyes LASERED – Long to throw away your glasses? Laser surgery may be riskier than you think”
Page 48: “By the way…Supplements may do more harm than good”
Page 49: “Could Stress give you diabetes?”
Page 50: “Is the NHS accusing agony by telling dentists not to pull out wisdom teeth?”
This week:
“Fit and healthy You could still have a HEART ATTACK”
Yaaay! No-one gets to miss out!
Pages 34-35 feature such lines as:
“MY CRIME? TOO MUCH EXERCISE”
“NO PROBLEM’S, NO WARNINGS”
And this:
“SIMPLY BEING ASIAN PUT ME AT RISK”
Page 46: “Am I at risk becasue I avoid antibiotics?”
Page 49: “Why tragedy of Jake shows you must never dismiss a child’s aches as ‘growing pains'”
Page 50: “When tiredness is a warning sign you ignore at your peril”
