Begitu banyak manfaat khamar (alkohol) itu bila diminum secara
moderat, tapi al-Mushaf yang TIDAK berbukti berisi wahyu Allah itu
mengharamkan khamar itu.
(Cf. berita lain yang sudah saya fwded)
Orang Islam Indonesia yagn memang dungu-dungu kayak keledai
debil pengencuk kambing congek menjadikan al-Mushaf itu sebagai
kitab sucinya.

Alcohol may protect women's bones
Moderate alcohol consumption could help protect women against brittle
bone disease, according to a new study. Researchers at London's St
Thomas Hospital examined the effect of alcohol on 46 pairs of
identical twins, who drank either moderately or very little.
The moderate drinkers - who drank an average of eight alcohol units a
week - had significantly denser bones than those who consumed very
little.
The research findings were published in Annals of the Rheumatic
Diseases.
Researchers focused on the bone mineral density of subjects, as
measured at the hip and spine.
Chemical markers of the bone turnover were measured using urine
samples.
The findings also support the results of previous studies which found
that smoking causes thinner bones and osteoporosis.
But the study failed to establish a clear link between bone
production and alcohol intake.
Excessive drinking
It is hoped that the latest findings could be used to help develop new
treatments for osteoporosis.
It is unlikely that alcohol consumption will be prescribed to female
patients, according to Professor Tim Spector of St Thomas' Hospital,
London.
Prof Spector, who is based in the hospital's Twin Research and
Genetic Epidemiology Unit, warned that excessive drinking is likely to
have a negative effect on bone structure.
Prof Spector said: "Alcohol is like any other drug - it works
differently at different levels and different people will also react
differently to it.
"Further work to find out what in alcoholic drinks produces this
effect could be useful."
Twins were used as study subjects because they are genetic clones who
have grown up in the same environment.
