Wow...the alcohol article reporting the findings of a 6 year old study and lauding the health benefits of 6 drinks per day is a bit over the top!  Granted more recent studies are also referred to that correctly report health benefits from 1 drink per day or less...I just found the whole article incredibly misleading, and narrowly focused on heart disease.  The reality is that alcohol-related injuries and deaths are just as important in the grand scheme of things, and should not be glazed over.  If someone regularly drank 6 drinks per day...they would be intoxicated 100% of the time!!

You wanted comments...please forward these to the editor...

Subject: New OnLine Consumer Health Journal (Seeks Feedback)


The new online "Consumer Health Journal" (CHJ) is a free, monthly journal
dedicated to providing in-depth health information that isn't swayed by
market or advertiser demands.

With articles from study result analysis (pregnancy and alcohol, milk and
cancer) to lighter fare (health insurance for dogs, the geography of fat),
CHJ tries to publish information that is otherwise hard to come by.

The Editor, Alison Stewart, would appreciate feedback from CLICK4Hp
readers. She is interested in feedback about the website and its contents.

The CHJ is trying to fill the void left by poorly reported study findings
and seemingly contradictory reports that the media often leave
unexplained.

The website is: http://www.consumerhealthjournal.com
