Subject: Re: moderate alcohol

I believe the protocol for women is to wait until after menopause to begin moderate, regular alcohol. Prior to menopause women normally have higher HDL than men anyway - one of the benefits of red wine.

Hi Francesca,

I do remember reading that these benefits of alcohol are for men only. That

women have a very different profile given the estrogen in their bodies, and

that even one drink per day may significantly raise the risk of breast

cancer .Two drinks adds much more risk etc.
