Samenvatting:

Everyone knows alcohol can destroy lives and families, be a menace on city streets and highways, and clutter up hospitals and Emergency Rooms with its victims. But the paradox is that the very same liquid is probably the world's most powerful natural medicine, according to top international research scientists. Astonishingly, they have found that alcohol is far better than pharmaceutical drugs in preventing a range of conditions – including heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis and even dementia. But like pharma drugs, the dose is key: too little won't work, and too much can be toxic. This book collates the latest research data to allow you to decide what and how much to drink for your own optimal health and longevity.
