Drink daily, even heavily, study indicates

WASHINGTON POST
Research from Denmark suggests that men who drink alcohol every day have a lower risk of heart disease than those who drink less frequently. The findings reported in the British Medical Journal further indicated that it made no difference how much booze was consumed by the 25,000 men studied over a six-year period, so long as they drank every day. Among the caveats, however, was a low response rate that suggests some study participants may have been too drunk to be counted.
In other news that may seem too good to be true, researchers at Oregon State University are suggesting that xanthohumol, a compound found in one of the chief ingredients in beer, may help prevent prostate cancer and prostate enlargement.
TV hurts
Television can hurt children even if they're not watching. A study published in the journal Academic Emergency Medicine suggests that hundreds of children visit emergency rooms each year for injuries from having unsecured televisions fall on them.
The injuries are typically not serious, the journal reports, but the potential for severe injury does exist. The researchers cited a lack of parental awareness as a factor in cases where injuries occurred.
