IRONIC DEATHS
Dr. Alice Chase, who wrote Nutrition for Health and other
books on the science of proper eating, died recently . . .
of malnutrition. (Fenton and Fowler)
"Dr. Stuart M. Berger, an author of the best-selling diet
and health books who contended that his weight-loss
programs would result in increased longevity, died on
February 23, 1994. At the time, he was 40 years old and
weighed 365 pounds." (Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest)
"The famous physician, Semmelweis, who fought against
operating room contamination by unclean doctors, died of an
infection caused by cutting his hand with dirty dissection
instruments." (Oops)
J.I. Rodale, publisher of books on health and nutrition,
appeared on The Dick Cavett Show in 1971, when he was 72
years old, and predicted he would live to be 100. Later in
the show, Cavett noticed Rodale appeared to have fallen
asleep. Actually, he was dead. |
