When it comes to the consumption of alcohol, the message has been decidedly mixed. Some studies show that moderate consumption might offer some health benefits, especially for the heart; other studies show an increased risk for certain cancers with the consumption of a very small amount of alcohol.Caveat imbibor.
A new study has found that the consumption of red wine might offer some degree of protection against breast cancer. The results of this small study, published online December 7, 2011 in the Journal of Women's Health, challenge findings suggesting that all types of alcohol consumption can raise the risk of developing breast cancer.

The shelf life of "truth" is very short in the domains of fitness, health and well-being.
The reason is that so much of what we are told is "true" is really baseless.
