The truth will out

Article Abstract:

Laura Shapiro's 'Newsweek' article about the health benefits of wine was not balanced or complete. Although the author mentioned that wine consumption has been linked to a reduced risk of death due to heart attack, she failed to mention that wine may reduce the risk of a variety of other illnesses as well.

Fighting the puritans

Article Abstract:

The puritanical nature of American institutions relates to the discounting of evidence in the US that wine in moderation can reduce the risk of heart disease. A '60 Minutes' episode on wine's health benefits that was criticized by an alcohol abuse group illustrates this conflict.
