A beer a day may help keep heart attacks away

“A beer a day may help keep heart attacks away, according to a group of Israeli researchers. In preliminary clinical studies of a group of men with coronary artery disease, the researchers showed that drinking one beer (12 ounces) a day for a month produced changes in blood chemistry that are associated with a reduced risk of heart attack. The study adds to growing evidence that moderate alcohol consumption may reduce the risk of heart disease, one of the leading causes of death in the developed world.”
