A glass of wine each evening is enough to increase your risk of developing cancer, women are being warned.

Consuming just one drink a day causes an extra 7,000 cancer cases - mostly breast cancer - in UK women each year, Cancer Research UK scientists say.

I conjecture many of those medical studies have no end to the war of words when it comes to wine drinking and the side effects, none of them are conclusive or accurate. In some other studies a glass of wine keeps your heart and cholesterol levels healthy.

It is about moderate consumption and not to abuse it.

I would compare it to an extreme ardent zealot causing deadly tumors in the spirit, and it is poisonous to the mind....

if you look at all the nasty stuff in the drinking water that will eventually cause cancer and goodness knows what...I'll take my chances with wine. At least its been fermented and all those nasty little critters have died a very happy death.

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

You are so correct.

Guys, ONLY one drink a day metabolysis the bad germs and guess what........... take more than one and there you see all these characters going down the gutter :)

Moral of the story: drink more than one.

As Ben Franklin said: In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria.

In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.

However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking Wine,Beer, Tequila, Rum, Whiskey, Borbon, or other liquor because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.

Remember:

Water = Poop,

Wine = Health

Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of crap .

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service

What the hell is wrong with news these days?

If i'm note mistakin' wine is really helful to your heart according to the expert... especially red wine! but if you are referring to some alcohol drinks like vodka etc.. it might be true but wine? i dont think so actually it can really help your heart to pump in a relax manner and supply the alloted oxygen to your veins and brain!
