I have long stopped listening to these "experts".

They know Jack Sh@t about anything. All they do is write things for some money. They will do what ever the person wants them to do. Now, this study, funded by an organization against drinking funds this study.

I will stick to my bottle of wine and I will drink away. If you don't like it, you can go cry and wail and tear your pink hair out. I don't care.

How come these studies never point to something like cauliflower being bad for you or Brussel sprouts? It’s always something people enjoy like coffee, chocolate, or wine.

Corrections welcome, but I think that the positive effects of resveratrol on the heart, resveratrol associated with red wine, were discovered when researchers tried to figure out why the French had healthier hearts than USA citizens.

Note that when countries are listed in order of longevity, France comes in 9th for both sexes, USA listed as 31.

List by the World Health Organization (2015)

Again, corrections welcome.

"I have long stopped listening to these "experts"."

They change their opinions more often than they change their underwear.

A study emphasizes idiocy if the researchers are idiots.

Maybe the results of these studies have more to do with the ‘quality’ of the wine.

I don’t notice anywhere that they state whether this was Boone’s Farm or a Cabernet Sauvignon.

If there was one scintilla of truth to this ‘study’, I’d have had the lid nailed onto my box 30 years ago.

I feel sorry for people who don’t drink or do drugs. They’re going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital dying of nothing.

And people rage over pot.

When liquor is a known killer.

I wonder if it’s the alcohol that leads to cancer, or if it’s what people add or mix into their alcohol? Also, what about the carbs or sugar? People need to add their drinks into their count and if they like a lot of wine a day, they need to eat very low carb the rest of the day. So you can’t tease out the cancer risk unless you know if they are compensating for hugely sugary alcoholic drinks by holding off other carbs.

Actually, this has been known for at least 30 years through population studies. Groups who don’t drink any alcohol live longer than groups who consume even moderate amounts. Of people who do drink, those who drink 3 or fewer glasses of red wine live the longest.

The problem with previous studies is that the abstinent groups also had other healthy lifestyle choices that made it difficult to assign their better health to alcohol abstinence.

I, personally, have gone with the study that said moderate-to-heavy drinkers with good nutrition have cleaner arteries than the population as a whole.

Pure nonsense. Tell it to all the French as Italians who drink wine with 2 meals per day.

Ah, but the lack of drinking wine can result in “Kansas syndrome”, in which you show no symptoms and appear quite healthy, and then you die.

Talking with my doctor recently and discussing an issue, I said so I’m not going to die?
He looked at me and said all of my patients are going to die.
We had a good laugh.

Margarine is healthier than butter.
Eggs are bad for you.
High carb, low fat diets are good for you.
Artificial sweeteners are healthier than natural cane sugar.
Drinking coffee is bad for you.

All the above were, at various times, previously touted by the “experts”. And all were later, at some point, refuted by other “experts”.
