Wine advantages

hms
By hms

Drinking red wine could stop your eyesight deteriorating, a new study suggests. Researchers have found that a substance found in grapes and other fruits could protect blood vessels in the eye being damaged by old age. It is effective because the compound, known as resvera-trol, stops the blood vessels from being damaged. The substance, which has been linked to antiageing and cancer protection in the past, is believed to work because it protects against abnormal angiogenesis – the formation of damaged or mutated blood vessels. This condition is lin-ked to cancer, heart disease and eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration.

Lol fruga, all I can say is that your belly will accumulate fat soon and you will need to urinate frequently courtesy the Beer. Enjoy the match and all the best to England :-)

Also, why are the studies that support drinking discounted here while the studies that support some facet of Islam or other are shouted from the rooftops?

In simpler words, Grape juice with alcohol content is called Wine :-)

By mjamille28• 27 Jun 2010 14:43
mjamille28

if it does not have alcohol content, then you simply call it grape juice.

By Visper• 27 Jun 2010 14:42

By afrinnabees• 27 Jun 2010 14:39
afrinnabees

1kg of grapes = water weight = not good for your figure = no good men= lower self esteem = sad = low quality of life.

Wine = who cares!

Another research conducted on a minority just to prove whatever nonsense they feel like and someone might even end up getting a phd as a result.....

By drmana• 27 Jun 2010 14:13
drmana

Why not "eat grapes" then rather than saying "drink Wine"? People should stop doing research just to justify their drinking habit :-)
