Red wine

Remember those studies claiming that red wine was good for the heart? Well, now new studies are saying that the alcohol enhances the causes of cancer!

Now we find out that even moderate amounts of alcohol cause cancer:

"More evidence links alcohol, cancer in women"

"A study of nearly 1.3 million British women offers yet more evidence that moderate alcohol consumption increases the risk of a handful of cancers. British researchers surveyed middle-aged women at breast cancer screening clinics about their drinking habits, and tracked their health for seven years."

I have read Pom Juice and Purple Grape juice can lower cholesterol and fight cancer, so there is really no need to drink wine.

After watching what alcohol does to people physically and mentally I stay away from the stuff.

This comes to mind when reading this thread:

Pro 23:29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has fighting? Who has babbling? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes?
Pro 23:30 Those who stay long at the wine, those who go to seek mixed wine.
Pro 23:31 Do not look upon the wine when it is red, when it gives its color in the cup, when it goes down smoothly
Pro 23:32 At the last it bites like an asp and stings like an adder.

The study is based on moderate consumption (more than a glass a day). I have wine sparingly but it still has health benefits.

Researchers compared the lightest drinkers — two or fewer drinks a week — with people who drank more.

Also, moderate drinkers actually had a lower risk of thyroid cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and renal cell cancer.

For an individual woman, the overall alcohol risk is small.

Great! But keep in mind this isn't a debate section. In the debate section there's an article posted that shows even "one" glass of wine a day can lead to increased cancer risks.

On the Oprah Wnfrey show they once mentioned how even one drink of wine affects their judgment. Of course, when they are dancing on the tables ...
