That's strange. I keep reading that there is "no safe amount " of alcohol to drink.

Really though, you do you but in moderation. Don't want to drink? Don't. Do? Be moderate about it.

From the post:

>Researchers at Harvard University led the study, and it included nearly 58,000 adults in Japan who were followed for up to a year using a database of medical records from routine checkups. Researchers found that when people switched from being nondrinkers to drinkers during the study, they saw a drop in their "bad" cholesterol -- aka low-density lipoprotein cholesterol or LDL. Meanwhile, their "good" cholesterol -- aka high-density lipoprotein cholesterol or HDL -- went up when they began imbibing. HDL levels went up so much, that it actually beat out improvements typically seen with medications, the researchers noted.

As a few others have pointed out here, the current Standard Of Care protocols and understanding of cholesterol are embarrassingly antiquated and the resulting treatment regiments are dangerously misapplied.

Yeah, plus "click bait is click bait". "Journalism" is all about making money now, not really reporting meaningful information.
