Mine would be at about 98% for the cardioprotective hypothesis, and about 75% against all comers for HDL and fibrinogen to be the primary mediators.
There's a big difference between 85% and fact.
Care to take a deep breath and reexamine my initial statement?
While it does raise HDL cholesterol, any causal link to reduced heart disease via this mechanism is only hypothesized, not proven.
Are you really saying you disagree with that? Rereading it myself, I probably should have been more clear in saying that I was referring to HDL being the mechanism of risk reduction for alcohol.
