{According to scientists of the Mediterranean Neurological Institute in Italy, drinking moderate amounts of beer daily could reduce the risk of heart disease by up to 25%.}<\/p>\n
The researchers reviewed more than 150 studies and concluded that drinking up to two 600ml glasses of beer a day for men, and half that for women, could have a beneficial effect on heart health.<\/p>\n
They also found that drinking those amounts daily made no difference to people\u2019s chances of getting dementia, cancer or other diseases.<\/p>\n
However, Britain\u2019s chief medical officer, Dame Sally Davies, disagrees with the research. She recently issued new guidelines that recommended limiting alcohol consumption to 14 units a week. A unit is 25ml of whisky or 250ml of beer.<\/p>\n
Davies said: \u201cDo as I do when I reach for my glass of wine \u2013 I think: \u2018Do I want the wine or do I want to raise my risk of breast cancer?\u2019 I take a decision each time I have a glass.\u201d<\/p>\n
