Is Cider Good For You?
it is reported on the BBC that alcohol-related disease is very much on the rise, in a study from John Moores University.
Here’s an extract from the BBC report.
Annual rates for alcohol-related hospital admission in Liverpool are 3,114 per 100,000 compared to 849 per 100,000 in the Isle of Wight.
In Blackpool, the findings showed the number of deaths from chronic liver disease were 46 per 100,000 men and 21 per 100,000 women, compared with the lowest rates in the City of London and in West Somerset where nobody died of liver disease.
Does the last bit mean that cider is good for you?
You’d have thought that the City of London would be higher up the list too. Although, I did have lunch with a stockbroker yesterday and all he had was a bottle of Italian beer. But he did have to ride his bike back to Kingston after work.
