Red wine cuts prostate cancer risk, Seattle study says
The trickle of positive health news regarding the consumption of wine in moderation, especially red wine, has turned into a raging stream.
This time, it’s prostate cancer. In a story entitled Red wine, taken in moderation, reduces risk of prostate cancer, the Harvard University Gazette Online summarizes a study done by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. The study’s results suggest a benefit of moderate red-wine consumption that was not found in beer, spirits or even white wine.
The story rightly emphasizes the “moderation” part.
Still, I’m thinking I’m going to live to be 150. And some of my friends, I’m thinking they’ll live to be 200.
I wonder what kind of red wine I’ll be pouring into my sippy cup when I’m 149?
Cheers!
Mark

I would love a re-cap of all the health benifits of red wine, its hard to keep them all straight! And Linda, I don’t know if it helps menopause, but it sure helps PMS symptoms :)

If current trends continue you will probably be drinking a California cabernet that comes in at about 42% alcohol by volume.
