No one would publish it. If the public realized all they need to do is what people did for thousands of years and drank some wine or beer with their food it would cost big pharma billions.

For the longest time there have been health articles that mentioned low rates of heart disease and diabetes in France along with the predictable 'bUt wE dOnT kNoW wHy' conclusion. Of course they know why. It is for the same reason I discussed in this post. The French are famous for their cultural tradition of having wine with their main meal but no one wants to admit that is the reason for their heart health because it might derail big pharma's multi billion dollar diabetes and heart disease market not to mention how much it would infuriate the bible belt. You can see on the list, France is one of the lowest in the world for diabetes but they are 11th in the world for alcohol consumption.
