Glasgow's diet was healthier in 1405
"GLASWEGIANS in 1405 had a better diet than the citizens of 2005, eating their 'five-a-day' 600 years ahead of its time.
"Even their light beer was healthier than sugar-laden fizzy concoctions that are today's favourite, according to new archaeological evidence.
"It reveals a diet of porridge and small amounts of pork and fish made medieval mealtime more nutritious than a visit to the chippy, the pizza parlour or the ubiquitous American fast food joints.
"And an absence of sugar in the diet meant medieval Glaswegians had better teeth."
