      Researchers found that factors such as higher consumption of champagne and white wine, increased fruit intake, along with maintaining a positive mood, weight management, blood pressure control and improved education, may serve as important protective factors. They concluded that between 40% and 63% of sudden cardiac arrest cases could be avoidable when looking at all 56 risk factors. Their findings were published in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology.
    
    Right, champagne alone. Or getting a PhD.

        Turns out, being rich and healthy is better than being poor and sick.

      "flying on private jet also reduces SCA". Looks like correlation more than causation.

    Presumably this is a satire of confounding variables?

      More like variable confounding satire.

      Last year Australian university published paper stating that solar panels on roofs are increasing temperature in cities...

      They probably too, drank a lot of Champaign, with little sprinkle of chatgpt on top.

      What a time to be alive!

      Edit: https://www.unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/2024/10/rooftop-solar-...

      Temperature watts vs temperature celsius. Basic middle school curriculum misunderstanding. Unfortunately it became fact, from what i googled right now... Ahhh

      Edit2: Article literally says "...used mesoscale (weather system) simulations due to the absence of available observational data for rooftop photovoltaic solar panels (RPVSPs)..."

    It is quite irresponsible to come out with news articles like this when it is known that overall alcohol has very negative effects on the health.
    • zelos10 hours ago
      The article references a quote about the "benefits of moderate alcohol consumption" as well, which I thought was an idea that had been debunked? I can't read the actual editorial though, it's paywalled.

    Are they talking about actual Champagne or just sparkling wine?

    Because the picture used in illustration shows a bottle of sparkling wine, not Champagne.

      Likely any expensive wine do, as it appears the study is really just discovering the link between health with wealth.

    or being wealthy enough to live relaxed life of sipping Champagne on your property/yacht.

    Other studies show that eating bread increases obesity, replacing it with cake is suggested by the researcher. /s
