The Health Benefits of Wine: Better Late than Never<br><br>
HealthDay, a website whose content is a lot like that of SportsGeezer, but less fun to read, reports on research suggesting that people who start drinking moderate amounts of wine in middle age can lower their risk of heart attack by up to 68 percent. The study, published in the American Journal of Medicine, collected data on 7,697 people between 45 and 64 years old and non-drinkers at the start of the trial. HealthDay reports that during the study, 6 percent of the participants began moderate drinking, defined as one drink a day or less for women and two drinks a day or less for men. After four years, those men and women who became moderate drinkers reduced their risk of developing cardiovascular disease or having a heart attack by 38 percent, compared to the non-drinkers. Healthday reports that those people who drank wine had 68 percent fewer cardiovascular events, while those who drank beer, liquor and mixed drinks had only a 21 percent benefit.
