Red wine may be able to protect you from heart disease and cancar.
But for some, one glass could be able be a health risk.
What's the story..?
PROS :
Heart Disease : The Copenhagen City Heart study tracked 13,000 people over 12 years and found those who drank wine every day halved the risk of dying from heart disease or stroke compare with those who never drank.
Prostate Cancer : A daily glass may halve a man's risk of prostate cancer according to a US study of 1500 man. The antioxidant resveratrol that is found in red grape skins may help clear the body of cancer-causing free radicals.
Longevity : Harvard researchers have found that resveratrol also switches on an enzyme that slows aging, extending the life of yeast cells by up to 70%. If this works as well in humans, this may extend human average life by up to 10 years.
CONS :
Histamine : Researchers at the Vienna Allergy Clinic tested the role of histamine in 28 patients with a history of red wine intolerance: 22 had higher histamine levels 30 minutes after drinking.The histamine levels in red wine can be at least ten times higher than those in white wine.
Migraine : A Lancet study tested migraine sufferers who thought red wine, not alcohol in general, caused their headaches. The wine sparked a migraine in 9 out of 11 of those tested, whereas those who drank vodka didn't experience an attack.
Teeth : The tartaric acid in red wine can wear away tooth enamel & red wine's tannins may also cause staining.
