The New Wine Paradox

Published by under wine health

The news last week was disheartening for anyone who loves a glass of wine. A massive study of middle-aged British women showed an alarming increase in cancer risk among those who drink alcohol.

Researchers studied 1.2 million women in the United Kingdom and found that 13 percent of all cancers of the breast, liver, rectum, upper respiratory and digestive tract were attributed to moderate alcohol consumption.

Add this to the growing list of conflicting information about the foods we eat and drink. One week something prolongs our health, the next week that same item shortens it.
