2 beers per week for women good for heart

A new Swedish study has found that women who drink beer once or twice a week have a 30% lower risk of heart attack, compared to both heavy drinkers and those who never drink beer.

Researchers at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, followed a representative selection of the middle-aged female population from 1968 to 2000 (when the women in the study were between 70 and 92 years old).

With the data from the study, the researchers reported the findings.
