I'm probably being dense, but that did not help me understand it at all.
I understand the perceived flaw in the previous studies that former heavy drinkers, now teetotalers, were included in the non-drinking bracket and therefore negatively skewing the results for non-drinkers, HOWEVER, is the article still not claiming that even having adjusted for that that the results still show benefits from small amounts of alcohol?
- DanBC 12y agoYes, that's right. The study claimed to have removed people who can't drink alcohol for medical reasons and then it claimed that people who drink upto five drinks a day live longer than the corrected non-drinking group.
