Healthy Talk show

Summary: A constant back-and-forth debate may have left you wondering if you should skip that glass of vino at dinner.Wine has been caught in a huge health debate on whether or not it's actually healthy for you. It seems every few years, doctors are changing their minds and saying you should (or shouldn't) be consuming this drink. An analysis conducted in July 2014 looked at 380,395 men and women and found an increased risk of death over an average 13-year period among heavy drinkers compared to those who drank moderately. However, a different study of 128,934 Californians found that frequent wine drinking was linked to a lower death risk over a 20-year period. So, which is it: should or shouldn't you be drinking wine? Listen in as Dr. Mike discusses the findings of these two studies and if you should be drinking wine or if it's best left alone.
