One for the girls:

Aha! From the BBC, and written by scientists, so it must be true!

But it doesn’t say anything about us blokes :moreevil:

Gary, surely you’ve read about the heart protective properties of moderate drinking for guys.

Thanks for posting that. I read a similar study a couple years ago, which is one reason, (other than that I enjoy it,) that I have a glass of wine with dinner.

Cheers! (hic)

I usually take new study releases with a grain of salt. So many studies are released with such minimal data collected these days. As soon as even a minor trend is realized they publish it.

I remember something about Oat Bran being the get all, beat all for helping prevent heart disease and maybe even colon problems. It was VERY well promoted and nearly every manufacturer of food stuffs did something to take advantage of it.

About a year later there was a small scale retraction of this claim.

Seems the more people want to believe something the more acceptable it is regardless of how unbelievable it might be.

i think kellogg was right..
