Consumed in too high a quantity, alcohol can negatively affect the body and cause a number of complications over an extended period of time.
In response to the study, Robert H. Eckel of the American Heart Association commented: “These data suggest that it’s not the alcohol with meals but other ingredients in wine, perhaps antioxidants, that may be the factor in potentially reducing new-onset type 2 diabetes”.
The MD continued: “The type of wine, red versus white, needs to be defined, and validation of these findings and mechanisms of benefit are needed.”
