Answers:
According to a French study. Funded by the National Institute for Health Medical Research in Bordeaux and the Center of Preventive Medicine, the five-year study showed moderate wine drinkers had a death rate from heart attacks that was between 45 and 48 percent lower than those who abstained from drinking.
As previous studies have shown, drinking one to three glasses of wine daily can lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels and lessen the chances of suffering a heart attack.
Drinking alcohol from any source increases the risk of cancer, the researchers said, substances found in wine such as resvaratrol may more than compensate by inhibiting development of the disease. The study recently appeared in the Archives of internal Medicine, a journal published by the American Medical Association.
