DRINKING wine can increase the survival of patients with lymph cancer, research suggests. Scientists who analysed data on 546 women with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma found that wine drinkers had a 76 per cent chance of living five years compared with a 68 per cent survival rate for non-wine drinkers.
Beer and spirits consumption was not found to have the same effect.

We all know the values of drinking wine,....
...'thankyou-very-much'!
I take we are talking,...'Red Wine'?
Just as a 'Pregnant Woman', should have the occasional glass of red wine!, it don't hurt 'Baby' and I bet you all, we will be told this very soon, as the strange research into many health topics goes on, and on and on!

How about carbon filtered water? Wine tends to have a higher percentage of methanol than spirits, can this be good for you? Has anyone worked out after billions of pounds of research what is really good for you apart from what your body tends to demand. Apart from the artificial stimulous of junk food companies. Does anyone care? Not worth the effort, you are just as well to eat what you enjoy and take the consequences.

I would add that if the third world countries could eat what they enjoy in quanties sufficient for their lifestyle, then there is a definite scientific result.
You could have literally millions of subjects and results and maybe discover why the western civilised world could maybe become extinct with the next few hundred years purely from eating habits. It is only a thought.

I assume that the wine they are talking about here is a different kind of wine to that which increases the chances of heart attacks, strokes and other untold nastiness...

Maybe one day, they will either get their facts straight and offer consistant advice or they will shut up completely. I might just listen to them in the former case, but I would prefer the latter.
