No Glass of Wine?

I was sad to read the news in this morning's paper saying there is no safe amount of wine for women to drink. Do I believe it? (I ask as I sip my Merlot.) What's a mom to think? Are there more factors to consider?

I exercise regularly (about 5 times a week) and eat healthy (no preservatives, here). But I am probably at high risk for cancer because of my mom, my dad and my grandfather. I don't smoke or have any other vices other than this one guilty little pleasure in the evening. So what am I to think of this news? Next thing you know they'll be saying coffee is bad for me too. That is when my world will really end!

yeah, but wine is good for preventing heart disease, and isn't heart disease a bigger killer for women?? Seriously, you can get cancer from breathing. Personally, I think stress is a bigger factor, so drink up... or maybe that's the wine talking....Tee Hee
