One big issue of the Scottish Referendum is the future of the NHS and Scotland's health.

In some parts of Glasgow the male adult life expectancy rate is as low as Gaza but is this a fair comparison? This is down to poor diet, bad weather, drugs, alcohol abuse and gang culture and another big reason is eating the wrong foods in batter.

Many men in Glasgow die before they are 65  I asked David Walsh, of the Glasgow Centre for Population Health, what is the 'Glasgow Effect' ? According to the World Health Organization in 2008, the life expectancy for men in one part of Glasgow was just 54 years of age.
