After adjusting for age, gender, smoking, diabetes, myopia,
socioeconomic status, and steroid use, total alcohol consumption of over
2 standard drinks per day was associated with a significantly increased
likelihood of cataract surgery.
Abstinence from alcohol was also associated with increased likelihood of
cataract surgery when compared to a total alcohol consumption of 1 to 2
standard drinks per day.
The conclusion:
A U-shaped association of alcohol consumption with the long-term risk of
cataract surgery was found in this older cohort: moderate consumption
was associated with 50% lower cataract surgery incidence, compared
either to abstinence or heavy alcohol consumption.
This study seems to support the belief that moderate consumption of alcohol is beneficial to our health. If you are looking for a good source for a wine deal, check out Cinderella Wine. They offer a daily that expires at midnight. What a great name!
