Red Wine: It's not just for brains and heart (and fun); Research shows prostate benefits
Much has been written about the potential benefits of drinking red wine in moderation and of resveratrol and of certain flavonoids, substances found in red wine. Harvard Men's Health Watch just announced the following surprising results of a Seattle study:
"...wine drinking was linked to a reduced risk of prostate cancer. And when white wine was compared with red, red had the most benefit. Even low amounts seemed to help, and for every additional glass of red wine per week, the relative risk declined by 6%.
Previous studies had not detected a relationship between overall consumption alcohol and risk of prostrate cancer. However the Seattle study evaluated different types of alcohol which lead to the unexpected findings.
While doctors are hesitant to prescribe wine consumption to their patients it is nice to know that moderate drinking is associated with a lowered risk of prostate cancer as well as heart attack, stroke, and diabetes.
