That's the big story for me in April 2007's Nutrition Action Health Newsletter: their article on Chinese Restaurant Food. Subscribers may already it in their mailboxes, it is not yet online. Except for the sodium, it looks like you can eat fairly healthy at Chinese restaurants. Remember to eat your vegetables.
This is second time the Center for Science in the Public Interest has looked at Chinese restaurant food - the first view in 1993 got alot of press coverage. I think they were the first to start discussing restaurant food in terms of healthiness. You can get your own copy of the article, or subscribe. The organization is a strong advocate for nutrition and health, food safety, alcohol policy, and sound science and "things Chinese" are not (usually) one of their main topics.
Speaking for myself, the key to long life is probably not how late my family and I stay up on New Year's but portion size, and the day's (or week's) amount of exercise.
