Moderate drinking reduces
stroke risk, study confirms. Similar to the way a drink or two a day protects
against heart attacks, moderate alcohol consumption wards off strokes, a new
study found.
The study also found that the type of alcohol
consumed -- beer, wine or liqour -- was unimportant. Any of them, or a
combination, was protective, researchers reported in today’s Journal of the
American Medical Association. "No study has shown benefit in recommending
alcohol consumption to those who do not drink", cautioned the authors, led by
Dr. Ralph L. Sacco of Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in
New York. But the new data support the guidelines of the National Stroke
Association, which say moderate drinkers may protect themselves from strokes by
continuing to consume alcohol, the authors said.
