Red wine for health

[Thomas]

donnacliff,

Any dark fruit or vegetable (blueberries, beets,) also offer high doses of antioxidants. In fact, since we eat the skins and we don't mess with the strength of the antioxidants in them, they probably are better for our heart--ounce for ounce--than wine. The last study I read showed that it would take dozens of bottles of wine each day to amass the resveratrol necessary to protect us. A good goal, but a pyrrhic victory, should we succeed at meeting it.

Wine is not health food.
