Recent headlines have made alcohol seem almost like a health food: "Alcohol Can Be Good for the Heart..." or "Another Reason to Drink Red Wine."

Bloomberg: Coffee Protects Against Drug-Resistant Germs in Latest Baffling Benefit
Coffee Protects Against Drug-Resistant Germs in Latest Baffling Benefit
By Elizabeth Lopatto - Jul 12, 2011 6:00 AM GMT+0900
Drinking tea and coffee may be linked to reducing antibiotic resistant bacteria carried by healthy people in their noses, a potential benefit of the beverages that baffled researchers.
People who consumed tea and coffee carried methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, in their noses half as often as those who didn’t, according to a study released today in the Annals of Family Medicine.

Good Day Alabama for April 4, 2011
Good Day Alabama for April 4, 2011
Here is what you saw on Good Day Alabama for April 4, 2011:
BETH K - Mae West once said "Too much of a good thing can be wonderful". But clever quotes are not always accurate. And when it comes to nutrition, too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. Here are some examples of healthy recommendations gone too far:
- Too Much Water? Yes you can drink too much water. Over hydration can lead to blood that is too diluted and low in sodium. Symptoms include headache, nausea, loss of consciousness, muscle weakness and cramping, and confusion.
How to avoid it: The best way to check to see if you are well hydrated is to check your urine. If it is pale yellow to clear, you are in good shape. For most people, thirst actually is a good clue to how much water and other fluids you need. The exception to that is older people who may not sense their fluid needs as well.
- Vitamin/Mineral Megadose. Most people know that you can over the fat soluble vitamins like K, D, E, and A. But many don't know that you can even overdo the water-soluble B vitamins and vitamin C. All vitamins and minerals have an upper limit that is too much and is bad for the body. You're not likely to overdo nutrients from food.
- Too Much Fiber. While most people don't get enough fiber, you can overdo it. We usually recommend 25 to 35 grams a day. Most fruits and vegetables have about 3 to 5 grams in a serving. Some high fiber cereals can have as much as 10 grams. Too much of this good thing could bind up some of your vitamins and minerals and lower their absorption. You could also have diarrhea, stomach cramping, and become dehydrated.
- Too Much Fish Oil Supplements. If you don't eat 2 to 3 servings of high fat fish a week, then your doctor may recommend fish oil supplements. There is good evidence that the omega 3 fats in fish oil can lower blood pressure, triglycerides, and your risk of heart disease. One of the ways fish oil lowers your risk of heart disease is to thin the blood. But too much of this good thing can lead to excessive bleeding. So keep the fish oil to no more than 3 grams a day!
