Moderate drinkers get less heart problems

A Fresh study indicates that what counts to your wellness is not how much alcoholic beverage you deglutition, but how and when you drink it.


For the study, in the journal BMJ, French scientists collected data along the drinking habits of 2,405 adult male* in Emerald Isle and 7,373 in France, and found that the French fuddled more — an medium of dozen ounces a day, compared with about three-quarters of an ounce for the Irish. But 12 percent of the Irish people drank every day, compared with 75 percent of the French. But among the Irish the rate of binge drinking in embodied sharply higher: 9 percentage, compared with unaware.5 percent in French Republic. A binge was defined as five drinks or more at least one day a week.

The scientists accompanied the men for 10 a long time. After assuring for smoking, cholesterol degrees, blood pressure and other risks, they bumped that compared with regular drinkers, both glut drinkers and teetotalists were almost twice as likely to have had heart problems.

In that respect are cultural disputes in drink habits, enunciated the study’s lead author, Dr. Jean Ferrières, a professor of medicine at Toulouse University.

In France, fruits, vegetables and wine are consumed at the same meal,” he said. “We think you can protect your heart by drinking daily with a complete meal. But we don’t know how to disentangle the effect of wine from the other things.
