[Goanet]Good news for Whisky drinkers
Whisky Helps Single malt whisky can beat the threat of cancer, thanks to high levels of a powerful antioxidant that kills cancer cells, a medical conference in Scotland was told Sunday. Jim Swan, an independent consultant to the global drinks industry, said that according to research single malt whisky contains "more ellagic acid than red wine". Swan, a doctor, told the EuroMedLab 2005 conference explained that ellagic acid is an effective "free radical scavenger" that "absorbs or "eats up" rogue cells that occur in the body during eating. "The free radicals can break down the DNA structure of our existing cell, which then leads to the risk of the body making replacement rogue cancer cells," he said. "So, whether you indulge in the odd tipple, or you are a serious connoisseur, whisky can protect you from cancer and science proves it" Lesley Walker of Cancer Research UK was dubious. "There is considerable data documenting the link between drinking excess alcohol and the increased risk of a number of cancers, particularly in smokers," she said. "Ellagic acid is a powerful antioxidant, but that does not mean it is necessary to hit the bottle," she said, noting that the ellagic acid can also be found in soft fruits. The EuroMedLab 2005 conference in Glasgow, hosted by the Association of Clinical Biochemists, runs until Thursday, with more than 3,000 researchers, doctors and science and technology companies expected to attend.

RESPONSE: It is not good news for all whisky drinkers; only the connoisseurs or drinkers of single malt whisky. The best, I have found and one which some while ago, was sold at auction for charity for many thousands of pounds, is Glenfiddich - pure smooth nectar drunk neat or on the rocks. http://www.glenfiddich.com/ cheers.

The smooth taste of many fine scotch malt whiskies, predominantly from the Speyside region of Scotland, is delicately freshened and revealed by carefully chosen scotch grain whiskies to give J&B Rare its highly distinctive and balanced character... Comment: After Glenfiddich perhaps, a good single malt to tickle my taste buds would Glenmorangie:- http://www.thedrinkshop.com/products/nlpdetail.php?prodid=285 Since 1843, Glenmorangie distillery has been producing its famous malt here on the shores of the Dornoch Firth. Though the complex of buildings has seen many changes over the years, Glenmorangie is still handcrafted to this day by the Sixteen Men of Tain using tried and tested methods that have been passed down from generation to generation.. Comment: As stated, the standard is Glenfiddich. £35,000 was paid for a bottle in 1992 in Italy. You can have one for around £20. Now I am sure all you Gulfies will be buying a bottle to take back to Goa! Have a good one, cheers. Gabe. London, Wimbledon.
Re: [Goanet]Good news for Whisky drinkers
Single malt whisky: 'Glenfiddich' is the best that I know of. It has a nice mellow taste and soothes my palate, best! Then there is Glenlivet, of course and may be a host of other names. A bottle of Glenfiddich should cost anywhere between the cost of Johny Black and Chivas Regal; it beats me, when u say it was auctioned for thousands of pounds for a charity! Was this a whole cask and vintage stuff that you are refering to? Whatever the price, there is no better whisky for me, when and wherever it is available! I even prefer 'Glenfiddich' to Chivas Regal; thats a matter of taste, of course!
