1. While still some disputing going on, the 'French Paradox', continues. For those uninformed, in 1992 researchers discovered that the French had a 36% lower mortality rate from heart disease than other nations. This is despite the foie gras, croissants and butter in lots of sauces. umm my mouth is watering already.
2. Denmark and Sweden conducted studies that showed moderate consumption of wine helped to reduce the risk of dementia, to include Alzheimer's disease.
3. Resveratrol, the component found in red wines, has been shown to protect against a number of age-related diseases, particularly diabetes, inflammation and cardiovascular diseases.
4. A glass of red wine each day cuts a man's risk of prostrate cancer in half. It also lowers the risk of Barrett's Esophagus, the precursor to esophageal cancer by 56%.
5. Wine drinkers eat healthier foods and have healthier life styles. We eat more olives, fruit, vegetables, poultry, olive oil, and low-fat cheese and milk. Beer drinkers, on the other hand, tend to chose ready-cooked meals, refined sugar, cold cuts, chips, pork, sausages and soft drinks.
