Don’t like Red Wine – Try Grape Juice! Its Just as Good for You

February 5th 2007 22:38
A recent study published in the journal Cardiovascular Research suggests that grape juice can have a similar effect against heart disease as red wine. Red wine and certain types of grape juice have high levels of polyphenols (a type of antioxidant), which block the production of a protein linked to cardiovascular disease -- the No. 1 killer in many Western countries. Polyphenols (which is also found in thyme and oregano) work the same way in red wine and in grape juice. The amount of polyphenols in grape juice, as in red wine, depends on the type of grape used and how it is processed.
This is great news for people that can’t drink wine but want to enjoy the health benefits the Mediterranean’s have enjoyed since Jesus worked out how to turn water into wine! We love our red wine, which is partly due to the fact I come from a beautiful wine and fruit producing area in North – Western Victoria and have Southern Italian genes. There is also good news for consumers, currently there is a massive glut in the wine industry and this means cheaper wine for you! You can also try a range of organic and bio-dynamic wines on offer which support smaller run family wineries and growers. I’ll drink to that!
