Wine and cancer
Source: Science Daily
Hello there. I'm back with some more interesting news. I have already posted an article connecting drinking and cancer. Now, to buttress this post, I have found another one.
Researchers have found that regular intake of a limited amount of wine was found to reduce the risk of prostate cancer. This was conducted on persons aged between 40 and 64.
And that is not all folks. They have obtained these results on both red wine and white wine. Red wine was found to be more effective.
The exact reason for these effects is currently not known to the scientists but they speculate that it could be because of flavonoids and resveratrol found in wine. These compounds were apparently missing in the other alcoholic beverages like whisky, etc...
The thing to be noted here is that this research is not yet fully complete and this is one reason why the researchers are not recommending people to consume wine.
