Liver Disease: New Studies Demonstrates Lethal Link Between Alcohol, Weight

[Northerner]

Research announced today at the International Liver CongressTM 2013 has revealed the deadly impact that alcohol and body weight have on liver disease.

Women should forgo the wine and doughnuts after a new study found the harmful combination of high alcohol intake and high body mass index (BMI) causes an increased risk of chronic liver disease. The study analysed a cohort of over 107,000 women to investigate how a female's weight and alcohol consumption affected their chances of suffering and dying from chronic liver disease.

Not unexpectedly over eating and over drinking combined are quite unhealthy. I imagine a fair percentage smoke as well! As Oscar Wilde himself said ?Everything in moderation, including moderation.?
