The latest study on red wine as a weapon against obesity.
Resveratrol, a compound present in grapes and red wine appears to inhibit the development of fat cells and have other anti-obesity properties. Resveratrol
Prevented the pre-fat cells from converting into mature fat cells; they also hindered the fat storage in the cells. The compound reduced production of certain cytokines, substances that may be linked to the development of obesity-related disorders like diabetes and clogged coronary arteries. Resveratrol also stimulated the formation of a protein called adiponectin. The substance known to decrease risks of heart attack is diminished by obesity. The study support the idea that drinking a small amount of alcohol each day – no more than one to two servings – is better for you than not drinking, but the findings don’t apply to everyone. Even small amounts can increase risks for certain health worries, like breast and colon cancer. Although those risks are generally offset by the extra heart benefits, some people may decide it is not worth it. The New York Times
