College education and moderate alcohol intake linked to lower COPD risk
College education and alcohol consumption may be linked to risk for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Researchers from Kaiser Permanente Medical Group in Oakland, California, followed 126,019 people who supplied baseline data from 1978 – 1985 through 2008 with analyses of hospitalizations attributed to COPD (emphysema, chronic bronchitis, or chronic airway obstruction).
Although cigarette smoking, increasing age, and history of respiratory disease/symptoms were powerful predictors of COPD, results also showed that Asian Americans (vs whites) and college graduates (vs no college) were at a moderately lower risk for COPD, as were persons reporting 1 to 2 drinks per day (vs lifelong abstainers).

OMG!! This is certainly a shocking and a genuine Testimony..I visited a forum here on the internet on the 20TH OF July 2016, And I saw a marvelous testimony of this powerful and great Herbal doctor called DR Lusanda on the forum..I never believed it, because I never heard nor learnt anything about Herbals before.. Not a soul would have been able to influence me about herbal medicines, not until DR Lusanda did it for me and cured me from COPD of 8 years within 3 weeks just as I have read on the internet..I was truly astonished and shocked when my doctor said it was no longer there. I am really short of expressions, and I don't know how much to convey my appreciation to you DR Lusanda, you are a God sent to me and my entire family.. Here is his website: www.drlusandaherbal.weebly.com His Email: drlusandaherbal@gmail.com
