A recent study in the Journal of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology found that polyphenols, the powerful antioxidants in red wine may help cut the negative impact high fat foods have in your body. Researchers found that people who consumed turkey cutlets cooked with wine had 75% less malondialdehyde (MDA) than those who had cutlets without wine. MDA is a by-product of fat digestion that’s linked to heart disease (Ref: Eating Well, May/June 2008, p. 45). Feel good about having a glass of red wine with dinner.

While it’s true that studies have shown positive links between heart health and red wine, it’s also true that most doctors will not suggest starting to drink wine if you don’t already partake. That’s because there are a lot of other risks that accompany wine, not the least of which is alcoholism. The other challenge for many is stopping at the “moderate” amount suggested… one glass for women, two for men (American Heart Association).
