Guest guest Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 Yes, it's great to know that a lil alchohol is good for you now. Granted, it's still suppose to be unhealthy to get totally wasted (damn). The positive effects of moderate alchohol consumption are supposedly due to it somewhat thinning the blood. Similarly, why aspirin is good for you, it thins the blood. This reduces the likelihood of blood clots and keeps 'the blood flowing' so ta speak. This explains the so called French Paradox. There is new study being published this month in New England Journal of Medicine or is it the British Journal of Medicine...maybe one of you on this list knows what I'm talking about. The study was well done, including thousands of participants (not like some studies where there were just a handful of participants and thus improbable that it could be generalized to the entire population).
