Women Who Drink Beer….

Have scaly skin from psoriasis 1% of the time and those that do not drink beer have it 0.4% of the time.  But that does not sound as headline grabbing as two and a half times as much!

I am still trying to find the data for this but what the article has shown is that about 1.4% of women get Psorisis within the study period and that the percentage of them that gets it is 2.5 times more thatn those that get it and do not drink any beer.  That would roughly make it 850 of the 1150 that drank and 300 that did not.

So again a big headline can not be written that says Drinking regular beer changes your chance of Psoriasis from 0.4% to 1.0%.  (Well that is 2.5 times difference!

Women Who Drink Beer Regularly More Likely To Develop Psoriasis.
