I wonder how much Big Alcohol had to pay 60 Minutes for that piece.

Imagine what would happen after 60 Minutes suggesting that cutting your balls will make you a woman.

60 Minutes would have been immediately canceled if they aired that in the 90s.

The study this was based on only showed a very weak correlation. Subsequent studies -- there have been many -- have never conclusively shown any connection between red wine and coronary health.

The 'mystery' of why a country with such a high consumption of saturated fats has below average coronary disease remains unsolved. But it is what drove proposed hypotheses like "red wine is good for the heart" in the first place.

Based on carnivore diets also having a high consumption of saturated fats and a good health index, I would say it isn't unsolved. Coronary disease isn't driven by saturated fats.

The Public: Taking responsibility for our own health by eating more responsibly is hard. It would be much easier if you would just identify a single factor and then everyone could consume lots of that.

The MSM: Do I have some good news for you!

Alex, I'll take "Why we should eat meat?" for 500.

Pajeet with shit for brains has never heard of resveratrol or the plethora of polyphenols found in certain varieties of red wine.

Straight up KYS now, all of your posts are retarded and wrong.

You take Gold, Silver and Bronze for the stupidest cunt on this forum.
