WINE'S ANTIOXIDANT ASSETS

We've all been cheered by the news: wine is good for you! This article gives the rundown of ALL the heart and health benefits of moderate consumption, with particular emphasis on the recent news about antioxidants and heart health. But the article is careful to stress that the alcohol content of wine is itself healthful, if used in moderation--a benefit that grape-eating tee-totalers are missing out on: "Alcohol, in moderation, contributes at least half of wine's cardiovascular benefits, and likely provides numerous other health benefits, and little, if any, risk. In fact, it may even enhance the desired actions of the antioxidants in the enriching form of wine, which is a package that can't be beat." This article is somewhat scholarly in tone, but a fascinating read for all.
