Is a glass or two of red wine every day good, or bad for my brain?
There’s been a lot of information in the news recently about the benefits of drinking red wine.
It’s important to clarify: It’s not the wine or the alcohol that’s helpful, it’s the anti-oxidant chemical that produces the white ‘bloom’ on the skin of the red grape. You can drink red grape juice or eat the grape and get the same health benefit.
If you prefer wine, a glass of wine a day is not thought to be a problem but excessive alcohol consumption is definitely harmful. One glass per day has been recommended as the maximum.
