I agree, the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide are understated, and yet it covers 75% of our planet, and it is about 75% of our bodies too! This is worse than Global Warming, sorry, uh, Climate Change.
ROFL!
What a fun doctor!
I find this hard to believe. If it was the case, the correlation would have been seen years ago. Decades ago.
They just reported that lowering cholesterol lowers your risk of cancer. But the statins people take probably increase the chance of liver diseases. Alcohol is probably not good for the organs, but in moderation it can relieve stress which is good for the body in whole. And, socially with friends can increase laughter which is also does a body good. And socializing is also good - lonely people tend to die sooner too, it was just reported. And besides, life is for the living.
We’re all headed for the same place sooner or later, which makes imho most of this research an absurd waste of time and money that would be better used helping one’s fellow man.
Moderation in all things, knowing that if its not one thing it will be another that sends us to the other side of the dirt.
