gts > "We have *one* study that disagrees with many other studies

Actually, we have at least two.

1) Why heart disease mortality is low in France: the time lag explanation,
Dr Malcolm Law and Professor Nicholas Wald, Wolfson Institute of
Preventive Medicine, St Bartholomew's and The Royal London School of
Medicine and Dentistry, British Medical Journal, vol 318, 1999.
2) Alcohol consumption and mortality from all causes, coronary heart
disease, and stroke: results from a prospective cohort study of Scottish
men with 21 years of follow up. Professor George Davey Smith et al.,
British Medical Journal, vol.318, 1999.
