If you are living with heart disease, having a small amount of alcohol each day is linked to a lower risk of having another heart attack, stroke, angina (heart pain because of constricted arteries) or an early death, according to a new large study.
“This is not the general population the study applies to people who have already had something happen that relates to cardiovascular health,” said alcohol researcher Emmanuela Gakidou, who is senior director of organizational development and training at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.

Alzheimer und andere neurodegenerative Krankheiten nehmen zu. Leider gibt es immer noch wenig Anhaltspunkte, was man gegen die Krankheit machen kann. Immerhin hat sich jetzt ein Zusammenhang statistisch erhärtet, den man lange vermutet hat: die Belastung durch Luftschadstoffe und das Auftreten von Demenzkrankheiten.
«Wir wissen schon länger, dass Luftverschmutzung schlecht ist für unser Gehirn und für die allgemeine Gesundheit sowieso. Wir wissen auch, dass es einen Zusammenhang gibt zwischen Luftverschmutzung und der Entstehung der Amyloid-Plaques in unseren Gehirnen», sagt Claire Sexton, Direktorin für wissenschaftliche Programme der internationalen Alzheimer Association an der diesjährigen Konferenz des Verbandes in Denver.

“This is not the general population the study applies to people who have already had something happen that relates to cardiovascular health,” said alcohol researcher Emmanuela Gakidou, who is senior director of organizational development and training at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.
“And what they find is that if you continue to drink after you’ve had a cardiac event, it’s not that bad for you, as long as you keep consumption low,” said Gakidou, who was not involved with the study.
