Orang Islam yang bodoh dan mau saja mengikuti apa yang
dikatakan al-Mushaf yang nota bene TIDAK ada bukti berisi wahyu
Allah itu menganggap alkohol itu sebagai minuman setan.
Begitu takutnya beberapa orang Islam itu akan alkohol, hingga ada,
saya ingat diskusi di sebuah mailing list Islam dulu, ada orang
Islam yang khawatir membersihkan lukanya dengan alkohol methanol
..
Bodoh memang..
Orang Islam tipikal itu rata-rata memang bodoh.
Saya fwd berita dari BBC ini yang isinya mengatakan bahwa anggur
Xeres (sherry dalam bahasa Inggeris) yang ditenggaksecara moderat
juga punya khasiat...
Harap baca pula (ringkasan) hasil penelitian Aaafje Sierkema
yang telah saya fwd ke maling list ini dan yang juga menunjukkan
bahwa alkohol yang ditenggak secara moderat itu bermanfaat untuk
saluran darah dan jantung...

A sherry could keep doctor away
If a heavy claret is not your tipple then reach for the sherry -
it could protect your heart, research suggests. Sherry may have
the same health benefits of red wine, scientists at the University
of Seville think.
Drinking sherry could protect people from coronary artery
disease, which can lead to heart attacks.
An article in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture
shows that sherry reduces bad cholesterol and increases good
cholesterol.
The Spanish study found polyphenols in red wine, which are
associated with reducing the incidence of coronary artery
disease, are also found in sherry.
Polyphenols protect the heart by preventing the "bad"
cholesterol from becoming sticky and building up as a deposit on
the blood vessel walls.
The beneficial effects of red wine can be extended to sherry
wines Juan Guerrero, University of Seville Drinking sherry also
increases the body's production of "good" cholesterol, which
medical experts think helps to carry potentially harmful
cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver, where it
is passed from the body. The researchers used rats to test the
health benefits of sherry.
They were given a daily quantity of sherry equivalent to a 150ml
serving for a human adult, while control rats were given either
water or ethanol in water.
After two months the rats fed on sherry had less bad cholesterol
and increased good HDL cholesterol.
Caution
Researcher Juan Guerrero said: "Sherry is widely consumed,
especially in Spain and the UK, and we have shown that its
moderate intake decreased total cholesterol and increased
HDL-cholesterol.
"As a general rule, moderate consumption of red wine exerts
beneficial effects for health.
"In our research, the beneficial effects of red wine can be
extended to sherry wines."
The British Heart Foundation (BHF) believes the study is not
conclusive.
In the long term, alcohol should not be used to protect the
heart Alison Shaw, British Heart Foundation Alison Shaw, BHF
Cardiac Nurse said: "We have known for some time that moderate
consumption of alcohol (one to two units per day) may have a
protective effect against coronary heart disease for men over the
age of 40 and for post menopausal women. "This research suggests
that sherry may be beneficial in helping to lower cholesterol
levels, however, further large-scale, controlled trials on humans
are required before it can be recommended to help protect the
heart.
"As a cautionary note, it is worth keeping in mind that too much
alcohol can have an adverse effect on health by increasing weight
and raising blood pressure.
"It may affect people in different ways depending on their
lifestyle and family history.
"In the long term, alcohol should not be used to protect the
heart.
"The best way to reduce the risk of developing coronary heart
disease is to stop smoking, increase levels of physical activity
and cut down saturated fats."
