In a large genetic study done in China, scientists found moderate drinking raises risk of stroke and high blood pressure -- but they didn't have enough data to say whether the same is true for heart attacks.

The researchers say their findings should apply to other populations beyond China and to any alcoholic drinks like beer or wine, even though the study participants mostly drank spirits.

The study focused on the consumption of spirits, yet the picture is of somebody drinking a glass of wine...unless of course she is creatively throwing down a few shots of whiskey--moderately!

Obesity in children should be defined by health issues, not just BMI: studyObesity in children should be defined and treated using tools that assess an array of health issues an individual faces, not just the body mass index, according to a group of Canadian researchers who published a new study Tuesday. This seems like a good way to implement early interventions and help these kids and their parents get healthy. BMI does not take into account whether someone is small, medium or large frame. 5'6' large framed bodybuilder should weigh more than 5'6' small frame that sits in a chair all day. That would be a big start in making BMI more realistic. Height & weight only is a fail.
