Moderate Drinking May Be Unhealthy After All |
|||||||||
|
By Henry J. Fishman, M.D. March 23, 2006
Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention analyzed data from 250,000 Americans. They interviewed them on the phone in a 2003 survey. Moderate drinkers did have healthier hearts, but here's the rub: they also had fewer other risk factors for heart trouble, like being thin, exercising regularly or having low blood pressure. So, was it the booze or the exercise that helped prevent heart trouble? Probably a little bit of both. A number of other studies have found that moderate alcohol intake does help prevent heart trouble, even if other risk factors are taken out of the equation. And so -- two drinks a day for men, one for women -- hopefully red wine -- still makes sense. Report Your Experience
