A glass or two of wine a day helps the body make oils that are good for the heart
(Telegraph 05/12/2008)
A glass or two of wine a day helps the body make oils that are good for the heart, according to a European study.

The oils, mainly associated with eating oily fish, are considered as protective against coronary heart disease and boosting brain power.

Durham County Council said children who took the Omega-3 supplements during the school year performed better in exams. It claimed out of 3,000 students who took part, almost a third showed significant improvements in GCSEs. Dr Ben Goldacre said it was bad science because there was no separate study of pupils not taking fish oil. The council admits the trial was not definitive.
