Lightbulb Drinking alcohol in moderation can reduce your chances of suffering??

There are people, Finkel said, "who can't accept the idea that even one drop of alcohol could possibly be good for you."

Good for what ails you

Drinking alcohol in moderation can reduce your chances of suffering a wide range of maladies, according to a selection of recent studies.

Heart disease A study of 14,000 male doctors treated for hypertension found that those who consumed one or two drinks a day reduced their risk of developing heart disease by 44 percent, compared to nondrinkers.

Lung disease Resveratrol, found in the skins of red fruits such as grapes reduced lung infl ammation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the cause of at least 3 million deaths per year.

Type 2 (adult onset) diabetes In a study of 22,000 twins, moderate drinkers were less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than nondrinkers, particularly among those who were not overweight. Heavy and binge drinking may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes in women.

Osteoporosis People with diets high in silicon, a mineral found in dark beer, had higher bone densities and therefore a lower chance of developing osteoporosis. The bone-benefi ts in the 2,800-person study appeared most clearly in premenopausal women.

Dementia Those who consumed one to three drinks per day reduced their risk of getting dementia by 42 percent compared to nondrinkers. There was no difference in the source of alcohol the 5,400 test subjects drank.

Obesity The extra calories in a glass of wine or beer with dinner don't end up on people's hips, but instead, in this preliminary study, appear to help the body get rid of excess weight.
