Hypertension and Alcohol – The French Connection
What exactly is the connection between alcohol and hypertension? For a number of years it has been recognized that there is an increased incidence of hypertension in people with high alcohol consumption. However it has also been noted that the French eat a diet containing as much as, if not more, fat than ours giving them similar levels of cholesterol; but four times as many Britons die of heart disease than do Frenchmen. This difference is often referred to as the French Paradox and doctors have long suspected that it is caused by something present in red wine that protected the heart.
As long as 30 years ago, The Framingham Heart Study provided evidence suggesting that alcohol can protect the heart. Since that time several other large studies have confirmed this. Obviously there is a reluctance to recommend alcohol consumption because of the well-known consequences of excessive drinking. Moderation would seem to be the answer. Studies have shown that both men and women who drink light to moderate amounts of alcohol per day live longer than those who don’t drink at all. However, drinking larger amounts of alcohol has more harmful effects on the body than benefits.

This breakage of bone occurs within a couple years of menopause due to reduction in estrogen levels. After years of erosion the bones give away causing pain, spinal deformity and fractures.

Can a Canadian Pharmacy Provide Identical Medications?
Canadian pharmacies online offer prescription medications at drastically reduced prices when compared to U.S. pharmacies. This is a well know fact. Yet, how do you know the medications from a Canadian pharmacy online will be the same as the medication you buy locally at a higher price? Does a lower price mean lower standards?
In Canada, wholesale drug purchases are controlled by the government and those price controls filter all the way down to the retail level. Retail prices for every Canadian Pharmacy are also under Government control, so prices are identical across the country.
