ease in Canada.

A recent stud> that was published in the American Heart Association Journal shows that light drinPing may reduce the

risk of sudden cardiac death in men.

21,537 male pinsicians whose ages ranged from 40 to 84 had then- cardiosascular health monitored carefully.

.\fier the 12 \ear stud), researchers reported that the men who consumed i\\o to lour drinks per week reduced their risk for sudden cardiac arrest b\ 60 per cent. The men who had

I1\e to six drinks a week lowered their risk b\ 79 per cent. .According to Pauline Anderson. Manager of Science

Communications at the Heart and Stroke Foundation of

Ontario, cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of Canadian men and women.

In 1997. 79.457 people died of heart disease and stroke.

Anderson agrees with the research and said it is true that moderate consumption of no more than two drinks per day can help reduce the chances of heart problems. She said the nia.xinunii drinks sveekly is 14 for men and nine for women. "One of the reasons (we don't) advocate starting up drink- ing (to people w ho don't already drink) knowing that it is car- dio protective is that there are dangers to drinking as well."

According to Anderson, studies now also show that all types of alcohol, not just red wine, can be cardio protective.

Researchers also found that while people in France eat

high fat diets their incidence of heart disease was quite a bit

lower than people in North America, said Anderson.

She said this is because most French people have some t>pe of alcohol with their meals. Nutritionist consultant

David Robinson also believes that the study is true but said

he would suggest red wine rather than all alcohol in gener-

Tiin Roth stars in the film (Pulp Fiction, Rob Roy)
