MESSAGFS . The good news for wine drinkers seems MORE GOOD NEWS FOR WINE DRINKERS! According to a Danish study released earlier in 1995, moderate wine-drinkers, ie., those who drink between three and five glasses per day, halve their chances of suf- fering a fatal heart attack or stroke. The study into the health effects of alco- hol found that spirit drinkers who drank the same quantities every day increased their risks of a fatal attack. Spirits were benefi- cial only if drunk once a month. Beer seemed to have no effect either way. The good news for wine drinkers seems to be the more the better—up to a point. Risks of heart attack fell in relation to the amount drunk: those who drank more than six glasses per day were in the lowest cate- gory of all. Conversel¥, abstainers were at highest risk. (Note: the study did not con- sider other adverse effects associated with alcohol consumption, e.g., cirrhosis.) This latest vindication of wine-drinking was made by researchers from the Danish Epidemiology Science Centre in Copenhagen, Denmark. Their results are certainly in line with health and social changes in Denmark, where fatal heart dis- ease has fallen by 30% in the past 15 years, while wine-drinking has nearly doubled. ANGER AT NEW COMPUTER GAME WITH SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES A new computer game that employs the use of subliminal messages to trigger a sub- conscious ‘feel-good’ sensation has recently gone on sale in the UK. But parents, politicians and psycholo- gists have condemned the maker, Time Warner Interactive, as irresponsible and unethical. Called “Endorfun", the game is like a computerised Rubik's Cube. It is accompa- nied by a mesmerising ‘tribal’ soundtrack, with 100 subliminal messages underneath. The messages are picked up by the brain without the player ‘consciously’ knowing what they are. The audio messages include: “I expect pleasure and satisfaction"; "It's okay for me to have everything I want"; "I am free of dependency"; "Today I expect the best"; "I can do anything" and “I forgive myself completely”. Time Warner, which is aiming the game primarily at teenagers, insists the messages are all “positive”, but a spokesperson admitted the game was highly addictive and "may have drug-like qualities, but at least it's legal". The company quotes Dr Gini Graham Scott, a US sociologist who found certain computer games stimulate the brain to release endorphins. the body's natural chemicals that relieve pain and produce a natural ‘high’. Although subliminals are banned on tele- vision and radio, computer games fall out- side legislation. (Source: The Australian, 10 October 1995) BILDERBERGER SUPPORT FOR COLIN POWELL AS PRESIDENT? No sooner had Republican strategist William Kristo] returned from his first appearance at a Bilderberg meeting (in Biirgenstock, Switzerland, 1995) than he began promoting Colin Powell for President of the USA. ‘ What followed has been a veritable media storm of news items and articles in largely Murdoch- or Conrad Black-owned publications across the westem world, vir- tually endorsing Colin Powell as the next President of the United States.
