There are certain aspects to wine that are known in the industry and not known outside.
Why this is, is a mystery to me, as some facts need to be shared with the wine drinking public!
One such fact has finally been bought to light and proven by a 13-year-study by Dr. Lu Wang from Brigham Women's Hospital in Boston, USA.
The Conclusion;
Women gain less weight over time if they drink wine.
Research was carried out over almost 20,000 healthy, middle aged and older women and although there was some weight gain over the 13-year study period, the women tested, who started with a normal weight were less likely to gain extra pounds if they drank light to moderate amounts of alcohol, namely wine.
That translates to 2 to 3 glasses of wine each day.
The tests also proved that the link was strongest with red wine drinkers.
Women who abstained from drink gained the most weight.
I have always pleaded that if wine is so bad for us, then why has it been around for 6000 years?
Enjoy in Moderation; that is the key.
