Well, frankly, who knows? especially when we rely on a never ending run of poor quality epidemiology.
I found this while reading another blog on alcohol and health, with the ever popular public health way of "well, we have to make a recommendation, so lets just pick this"
I also found this article the other week on the world leading Nutrition journal, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
The entertainment is in the conclusion
Higher usual alcohol consumption is associated with lower CAD mortality risk, independent of germline and early life environment and adulthood experience shared among twins, supporting a possible causal role of alcohol consumption in lowering CAD death risk.
10% reduction in cardiovascular disease for higher alcohol consumption compared to a lower consuming twin. Now, more epidemiology, but the twins helps take some of the genetics out of it (always potential for epigenetic differences), but when do you think we will see anyhting above 0 consumption seen as potentially beneficial?
Crickets?
Do I hear chirping?
