remember when there used to be all these articles about how people in europe live longer than americans because they drink red wine and eat more olive oil or bullshit like that? turns out it was universal healthcare the whole time
European centenarian hotspots are not located in the richest parts of Europe.
The studies that postulated health benefits of wine weren’t either. Correlation doesn’t equal causation and the mistaken belief that wine makes you live longer is a classic example of mistaking the two.
Congratulations, you’ve taken a flippant, light-hearted, comment and turned it into a debate about the veracity of cause/correlation whilst demonstrating some wonderful contrarianism.
Here, have a fake internet point for your trouble.
Wine may or may not increase life expectancy, but stress and anger have been shown to have negative long term health implications. Lighten up a bit, and try not to take the internet too seriously.
