After a good nights rest I decided to take a look at their "Statistics" in this literature. You know they say that 95% of statistics are made up right on the spot....
I started with the first one and after researching and finding a flat out lie, it should and does in my mind discredit the rest.
"Every drink shortens a persons life by 20 minutes and kills 25,000 brain cells"
What a crock! This is a flat out lie!!! I would be embarrassed to have espoused such, especially in print!!
shorten my life by 20 minutes!!! GEEZ are we talking one swallow, an 8 oz glass, a "tallboy", a whole bottle.... THERE is NO validation to this!!! In fact, quiet the opposite, research has shown!!! And 25,000 brain cells...I killed that many banging my head against a wall after reading this. Give me a break. Where did they get this???
They are right though Wine does kill cells!!
A pigmentation chemical that makes grape skins and wines red has been found to kill human leukemia and lymphoma cells cultured in a lab, according to research to be published May 4 in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. However, the compound, a type of anthocyanidin common in plants, left healthy blood cells alone.
The health benefits of wine have been professed for centuries, and often in the form of wives tales. However it seems that the medical world continues to conduct studies that illustrate some very promising health benefits. About 44,000 new leukemia cases will be diagnosed in the United States in 2007, and there will be about 22,000 leukemia-related deaths according to the National Cancer Institute.
Here are some more facts I quickly found.
Wine : by Ray Sahelian, M.D. wine health benefits
Lets be honest with the facts!!! These people do more damage to their bodies by eating at McDonalds and stuffing fried chicken into their guts every Sunday!! and that is a FACT and true!!! Look at the obesity of most of these people. But then thats ok...
Maybe someone else can tackle the rest of the list. This is to frustrating!!!!!!
