Re: Benefits of drinking dismissed by study

[Guest guest]

Hi Aequalsz:

One possible deficiency in that study MAY be that, as far as I can

see, it did not differentiate the types of alcoholic beverage

consumed. Studies that do make that distinction come out with major

differences between beverages. Including negative effects from

liquor, as opposed to major beneficial effects of wine - study done

at the Danish Epidemiology Science Center around 1992.

So, most likely it is not the alcohol that confers the benefit.
