Oh, yeah, the French Paradox. Which is only a paradox if what we are told is true...is not.
"The French paradox is only a paradox if one assumes that dietary fat is the major cause of obesity and cardiovascular disease," said Paul Rozin, professor of psychology at Penn and lead author of a paper in the September issue of the journal Psychological Science. "However, recent studies suggest that the importance of fat intake as a risk factor has been greatly exaggerated."
Smoking (unless it is medicinal, wink wink) is certainly not good for you, but spirits in moderation...perhaps a stretch to call it a good thing, but it's certainly not a bad one.
"I wonder what it is the vintners buy, that is one half so precious as the stuff they sell."
