Lots of people were upset by a recent NY Times article that said alcohol isn't healthy. I'm sorry to report that this is not news: the reason you thought a glass of red wine was good for your heart is because of the booze industry buying bad science https://skepchick.org/2023/01/sorry-to-be-a-buzzkill-but-no-alcohol-has-never-been-healthy/

@rebeccawatson I did get the impression that red wine in moderation was good for you as it has anti oxidants. Like anything, it is good in moderation, but too much is not good for our health.

@zleap Nope. It's good in that it trains your body to deal with alcohol. Like one of the Roman emperors, I forget which one, who took a daily dose of arsenic to train his body to deal with possible attempts of food poisoning with arsenic.

@zleap Yeah that was the lie all along. It was never true, but people believe it anyway

@zleap I'm not sure. If only I could remember who this particular emperor was! But perhaps it was standard practice.

Sorry people, your neurotoxin of choice is still a neurotoxin. Also, a carcinogen.

@zleap >as it has anti oxidants.I'm not aware of any studies that have conclusively proven that anti-oxidants alone are good for you.I remember hearing about some study (from a reliable source) about smokers that were given anti-oxidant supplements ended up with worse health outcomes from the death sticks compared to the control group.If you want anti-oxidants, you're better off eating the red grapes alongside vegetables, instead of drinking rotted grapes that have partially turned into a strong neurotoxin.You really only should be drinking water - any other drink is unhealthy, as no fun is allowed.

@Suiseiseki Fair points there, it does show that the media can over hype things, or report things badly and without sources it is impossible to read where they got their information usually.

@Magdeleen @zleap That was Mithridates - he supposedly developed tolerance to common poisons by taking small doses on a regular basis. When he tried to commit suicide by poisoning himself - he failed, because of his tolerance.Fun fact - I was born and raised at the foot of Mount Mithridat, located in Kerch (Crimea), where he ruled during Roman times...I used to run up and down these steps as a kid in the summer.

@hu_logic @Magdeleen @zleap Research funded by Otis Corp found that taking an elevator in lieu of running up those stairs would have been healthier.

@hu_logic @mauiluvr @Magdeleen This could be reverse psycology by telling kids fruit and veg is good for em, they don't eat, so by telling them Cigarettes are good for kids it may have the same effect, now if we just tell kids fruit and veg are bad, they will start eating healty food.
