Alcoholic Beverages and Health

[Guest guest]

Three more studies all coming to similar conclusions about alcoholic

beverages:

1) " During follow up, moderate drinkers had about an 18 percent

lower risk of developing heart failure than abstainers. Those

consuming 7 to 10 drinks per week had a 34 percent lower risk of

heart failure. "

2. " The study found that " light to moderate alcohol consumption is

associated with a 26 percent reduced risk of all-cause mortality and

almost 30 percent reduced risk of cardiac events " such as heart

attacks, compared to non-drinkers, the report said. "

3. " Previous research had suggested that the healthy benefits of

moderate alcohol consumption were achieved because of the anti-

inflammatory effects of alcohol, which lower heart disease. However,

researchers from the University of Florida have demonstrated in a

recent study that alcohol appears to offer positive heart effects

independent of any anti-inflammatory response. "
