You'll find also interesting studies about why French people experiment low levels of heart/vessels diseases, despite they eat above-average quantities of fat and sugars. One reason is that they drink wine. A very moderate absorbtion of alcohol is beneficial to the health, but this is true ONLY if you compare populations drinking NO alcohol and those that just drink a little. This is easy to see when comparing children that drink no alcohol and experiment more heart/vessel diseases than those that drink a few milliliters of alcohol each day (a small and beneficial absorbtion of alcohol is possible just by eating fruits or drinking it in a medical form as food supplements). A very small daily absorbtion of alcohol helps the body to fluidify the blood and clean up its vessels from excesses of fat. You don't need a lot (a full bottle of beer is not needed, but you cannot keep beer drinkable for a long time once it has been open). That's why beer is not a recommanded form of absorbtion of alcohol, as it requires you to exceed the sufficient level to get its benefit. On the opposite, you can open a 75cl bottle of wine at 6� (which contains 45ml of pure alcohol) and drink it on three days to have 15ml of pure alcohol each day (a reasonnable and beneficial level for adults of average weight of about 80kg). For children, due to their reduced weight, and thus reduced volume of blood, this quantity must be reduced accordingly, and this is possible by using medical forms of alcohol, that you will find in pharmacies in products that also contain essential oils, vitamins, and mineral supplements. You should know that even babies are sometimes given tiny quantities of alcohol within curing medications to help them recover from infectious diseases: the needed quantity is less than 5 milliliters. __________________________________________________________________ << ella for Spam Control >> has removed Spam messages and set aside Newsletters for me You can use it too - and it's FREE! http://www.ellaforspam.com
