You can read these articles just about every week stating that red wine is either good for you or bad for you. Probably everything in moderation is the key though, and personally I believe that moderate drinking of red wine is on the whole good for you.
The latest item I read suggests that red wine contains a key antioxidant called resveratrol. A professor from the University of Queensland said:
The breadth of benefits is remarkable: cancer prevention, protection of the heart and brain from damage,reducing age-related diseases such as inflammation, reversing diabetes and obesity and many more.
Wow, sounds amazing …think I’ll have a small glass tonight!
Couldn’t agree with you more. Recently I read an article that suggested that some scientists are not convinced about the health benefits of wine due to an inability to discern lifestyles of abstainers versus moderate drinkers. Here is my response to that article: http://www.viralvines.com/2009/06/16/eat-drink-and-be-merry-for-tomorrow-we-die/
