It seems that abstaining from alcohol in middle age may increase the risk of dementia in later life, according to a new study published in the BMJ.
Analysis of more than 9,000 people found those who never touched a drop were around 50 per cent more likely to develop the degenerative condition compared to those who drink moderately.
These results challenge Nanny's NHS advice, which recommends going teetotal to reduce dementia risk.
As a small caveat, whilst Nanny and her acolytes will still go on about the dangers of booze, I wonder if anyone has thought to consider that it may not be the booze that is dangerous but the chemicals in some of the drinks and mixers that people throw down their gullets these days?
