Studies Affirm Heart Health Benefits of Moderate Drinking
Donnerstag 25. März 2010 von htm
A new study of about 250,000 Americans gave new support to the claim that moderate alcohol consumption benefits coronary health, but this study and a new research review both conclude that heavier drinking confers no health benefits, Reuters reported March 23.
The author of the large study is Simona Costanzo of Catholic University in Campobasso, Italy.
The review of eight published studies involving more than 16,000 heart patients concluded that there is good evidence that moderate drinking reduces the risk of heart disease, possibly because it raises levels of „good“ cholesterol. The research review was led by Kenneth J. Mukamal at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. (Source: Join Together, 3/24/10) Our online-comment: It is always the same: No informations on „Who are the abstainers?“, the social aspect, the lifestyle. We cannot see if the Mukamal group used studies which were shown as uncorrect by the big meta-analysis of Kaye Fillmore.
