A new study has found that perhaps you really don't get benefits out of drinking moderate amounts of alchohol after all.

 

The study suggests that other studies were flawed, in that they compared moderate alchohol drinkers with people who abstained entirely. But many of those who abstained did so because of medical conditions or other medications, meaning that the group that abstained was already more likely to die, even without the alchohol considered.

How could previous studies be so obviously flawed... and why do we believe studies taking them at face value. How long has it been thought that a glass of wine a day was good for your heart??

I see this way too often in the news. And next week alchohol will be good, and eggs will be bad for you. Tonight at 10 : "HOW SAFE ARE YOUR SHOES?!"

hehe

Either way alcohol still tastes good!Xp

I drink two glasses of red wine nightly. im a firm believer in the french paradox

Most foods, in moderation and balance, are good for you.

 

MacDonalds and the like being very clear exceptions...
