Alcohol consumption has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease in women.
Binge drinking (three or more drinks in a day) was associated with an even higher risk of developing the condition.
Women who drink more than one alcoholic beverage per day, on average, were more likely to develop coronary heart disease than people who drink less.
Alcohol consumption has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease in women. A new study by Kaiser Permanente Northern California found that women who drink more than one alcoholic beverage per day, on average, were more likely to develop coronary heart disease than people who drink less. The study also showed that binge drinking — three or more drinks in a day — was associated with an even higher risk of developing the condition.
Women ages 18 to 65 who had at least eight drinks a week, an average of more than one a day, had a notably higher risk of heart disease.
<br>Female binge drinkers (three or more drinks in a day) were up to 68% more likely to develop heart disease than moderate drinkers.<br>
Higher levels of alcohol consumption are associated with a higher incidence of coronary heart disease. Both men and women who reported heavy episodic drinking, or binge drinking, had the highest risk.

Deception
(80%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title implies that moderate drinking is safe for women when in fact it increases their risk of heart disease. Secondly, the author quotes a study which states that female binge drinkers are at a higher risk of developing heart disease than moderate drinkers but fails to mention that male binge drinkers also saw an increased risk. Lastly, the article uses sensationalism by stating that women who drink more than one glass of wine per day on average have a notably higher risk of heart disease.

(75%)
The article contains examples of religious bias and monetary bias. The author uses language that depicts moderate drinking as a safe option for women, while portraying binge drinking as dangerous only for women. This is an example of gender stereotyping and reinforces harmful beliefs about the relationship between alcohol consumption and heart disease in women.
The latest study on the risks of alcohol might give pause to women who drink more than one glass of wine a day on average: Overall risk:
The study was drawn from data on more than 430,000 people in the Kaiser Permanente Northern California health group. The study will be presented at the American College of Cardiology‧s Annual Scientific Session in April.
Women ages 18 to 65 who had at least eight drinks a week—an average of more than one a day—had a notably higher risk of heart disease than those who drank less, per Science Daily. They were up to 51% more likely to develop such disease, reports the Washington Post.
Young to middle-aged women who drink more than one alcoholic beverage a day, on average, were more likely to develop coronary heart disease.
<br>Women in the study who reported drinking eight or more alcoholic beverages per week were 33 to 51 percent more likely to develop coronary heart disease.<br>
Higher levels of alcohol consumption are associated with a higher incidence of coronary heart disease. Both men and women who reported heavy episodic drinking, or binge drinking, had the highest risk.
<br>Coronary heart disease is the most common type of heart disease in the United States and develops when plaque builds up in arteries that deliver oxygen-rich blood to the heart.<br>
Heart disease is a leading cause of death among American women. Symptoms often have no warning until people suffer from a heart attack or other problem.
<br>Alcohol raises blood pressure, increases the risk for heart rhythm problems, especially during times of binge drinking, and is associated with an enlarged heart and toxin to the heart muscle.<br>
Even occasional drinking can affect heart health if it reaches the level of binge drinking.

Deception
(35%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it presents the idea that alcohol consumption can be protective against heart disease for women when there is no evidence to support this claim. Secondly, it uses sensationalist language such as 'even moderate drinking increases risk' and 'binge drinking raises risk by 68%' which exaggerates the findings of the study. Thirdly, it presents quotes from experts without providing any context or clarification on their opinions.

Fallacies

The article contains several examples of the appeal to authority fallacy. The author cites a study conducted by Kaiser Permanente Northern California as evidence for their claims about alcohol consumption and heart disease risk in women. However, this study is not cited or linked to any external sources that could verify its validity or reliability.

The article mentions that more than one drink per day raises the risk of heart disease in women, but does not provide any specific information on how this increase occurs or what factors contribute to it. This lack of detail could be seen as a potential conflict of interest if there are financial ties between the author and companies involved in producing treatments for coronary heart disease.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title implies that women who drink more than 8 drinks a week have a higher risk of heart disease when in fact it's only those who drink one or more alcoholic beverages per day and tend to binge drink.
The article states that 'women included in the data who said they drink eight or more alcoholic drinks per week were anywhere from 33 to 51% more likely to develop coronary heart disease'. However, this is not accurate as it implies a direct correlation between drinking and developing heart disease.
The article states that 'coronary artery disease takes the top spot within the heart disease category'. However, this is not accurate as coronary artery disease is a type of heart disease.
The article also mentions that 'women who drank more than three alcoholic drinks in a day were 68% more likely to get heart disease than those who didn't.' This statement is misleading as it suggests that binge drinking alone increases the risk of heart disease, when in fact it's only one or more alcoholic beverages per day and tend to binge drink.
