wine of happiness

Hello reader! Today I would like to show you a very “funny” new.  That new comes from a Chilean newspaper called “La Tercera”.

To drink a glass of wine everyday reduces the probabilities to get depression. With this weird sentence that new starts.

The “BMC Medicine” magazine reports a PREDIMED study. The result says that drink wine with moderation will be associated with depression. The alcohol has protectors effects on depression just like with heart disease.

Drink alcohol actually is a popular and massive behavior. In that context other studies say that the excessive consume of this drink it was related with health problems and mental problems like depression. But there are not very studies about the exclusive relation between mental disorders and consume of alcohol.

That new study analyze the relation of moderated consume of alcohol (using wine like the principal alcoholic drink) and depression. With annual visits, medical exams, questionnaires and interviews hey follow (for 7 years) around 5500 drinkers between 55 and 80 years old and study his consume of alcohol, mental health and lifestyle. The results finally say that the person who drink alcohol with moderation have less possibilities to get depression.  

In my personal opinion I think that this study is very stupid.  The variables “drink wine” and “to develop” depression doesn’t have any significant correlation to validate their hypothesis. I think the result of this study was hilarious.

“La Tercera” have a daily print version.  And also they have a web site with all this news. If you want to see the “wine new”, check the website and laugh with me. See you next week!
