A new study from the Queensland Brain Institute in Australia says that alcohol doesn’t really kill brain cells, as we’ve been told for decades. Good news, I guess, but it’s the definition of moderation that struck me as just so Australian (emphasis added):
Some of the best studies show that a bottle of wine a night can actually reduce the risk of dementia in old age, Professor Bartlett said.
In moderation, alcohol has positive benefits for blood vessel health.
