Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Bad news for those who thought they had license to drink a glass or two every day. It won't hurt your heart, but it will otherwise damage your health and shorten your life. Very heavy drinking does protect the heart, but at great expense to the liver. A drink or two a week is fine, though. Next thing you know tea will turn out to be bad news as well. Lets hope not. It's the only vice I have left!! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4491314.stm Web/Online Coordinator Adult Degree and Graduate Programs Prescott College http://www.prescott.edu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Polypharmacy to the rescue? " WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Coffee and tea may reduce the risk of serious liver damage in people who drink alcohol too much, are overweight, or have too much iron in the blood, researchers reported on Sunday. The study of nearly 10,000 people showed that those who drank more than two cups of coffee or tea per day developed chronic liver disease at half the rate of those who drank less than one cup each day.
