Effect on gastric function and symptoms of drinking wine, black tea, or schnapps with a Swiss cheese fondue: randomised controlled crossover trial

The study by Heinrich et al. is an important step forward in better
understanding the effects of traditional Swiss cheese fondue on the human
gastrointestinal system.
However, with regards to the effects of cheese fondue on cardiovascular
health, this paper raises more pressing questions than it answers.
Will it be less or more damaging to my coronaries when such a high-fat,
high-energy meal is processed a bit quicker by my gastrointestinal system?
After all, there may be a good physiological reason why gastric emptying
is slow after cheese fondue consumption.
While I have a strong personal preference towards white wine and schnapps
with my moitie-moitie, evidence-based knowledge about a significant and
clinically relevant increase in cardiovascular risk might be capable of
influencing my preference.
I would therefore strongly encourage Heinrich et al. to repeat their study
with the addition of sequential blood lipid profiles.
