Woman Who Drink Gain Less
Yes, the title is just shocking, isn't. Do you believe it?
Very interesting article. But is also one of those things that it may be good to lower the risk of becoming overweight, but it increases the chances of developing breast cancer. It also made me think what do us women have that regularly consuming alcohol has this effect on us but not on men.
I wonder if it has to do with women having more body fat than men. Maybe thats why they have results like that. Well I also heard wine( I believe it was red) also lowers high blood pressure. So maybe women who drink red wine lower their obesity rates and lower their high blood pressure.
