Red wine healthy - Academic fraud

Skip to end of metadata

In recent years, did you hear all the "wisdom" that drinking red wine is good for you? All the studies? Well in the news yesterday is that the researcher who found all that out and did the studies, he is up on charges for academic fraud for falsifying hundreds of results. The university is taking action to dismiss him, and has notified a whole bunch of academic journals.

http://www.winespectator.com/webfeature/show/id/45729 - Australian group claiming red wine health benefits were a myth, but "offering little proof"

http://newsfeedresearcher.com/data/articles_m2_2/report-university-wine.html - news about the researcher manipulating the data.

I get a chuckle out of this, since as an Adventist I am not a big fan of alcohol, and a lot of people like to mention those so called studies about wine when I am talking about health. I think Adventists have always been skeptical of those studies, as we feel that alcohol has too many problems, and that people should drink fresh fruit juices, or even much better, just eat the fresh whole fruits for the best health benefits.
