Too Good To Be True
Remember how there was all this talk about how drinking moderate amounts of red wine might lower your risk of heart disease? It’s part of the explanation people have given for The French Paradox – the fact that the French suffer relatively low rates of heart disease even though they eat diets relatively high in saturated fats.
Well, it was all too good to be true.
Now there’s research showing that having just one drink a day increases women’s risk of all types of cancer. It didn’t matter if the alcohol was from wine or beer, etc. – the pattern held on data collected from more than a million women.
And the more women drank, the more they raised their cancer risk.
The article.
Thanks to G! Who, upon reading this article, said, “This is why us ladies should always stick to the hard stuff.”
P.S. – Don’t listen to G.
