Mrs Frank was separated from her daughters on 28 October 1944 and died on 6 January 1945 of hunger and exhaustion. Anne and Margot were transported to Bergen-Belsen in Germany, which was being enlarged to take the final victims of the Nazis, still arriving in cattle trucks from all over Europe.
Myth: I read that wine is good for the heart, which means I can drink as much as I want. If you drink alcohol, including red wine, do so in moderation. Heavy and regular use of alcohol can increase blood pressure dramatically. It can also cause heart failure, lead to stroke and produce irregular heartbeats. Too much alcohol can contribute to high triglycerides, cancer, obesity, alcoholism, suicide and accidents.
Alcohol also has a mild anti-coagulating effect, keeping platelets from clumping together to form clots. Both actions can reduce risk of heart attack but exactly how alcohol influences either one still remains unclear. On the other hand, drinking more than three drinks a day has a direct toxic effect on the heart. Heavy drinking, particularly over time, can damage the heart and lead to high blood pressure, alcoholic cardiomyopathy, (enlarged and weakened heart), congestive heart failure, and stroke. Heavy drinking puts more fat into the circulation in your body, raising your triglygeride level.
