Drink To Your Health?
They are telling us now that some studies show red wine being a good tool against lung cancer. We've heard for some time that red wine has benefits for the cardiovascular system, but some studies have shown that red or purple grape juice also works well, and the juice doesn't have many of the negative side effects of red wine. It also appears that at least some of the benefits of grape juice may last longer than those associated with red wine.
Health studies often tend to be funded by groups which would benefit from research statistics stacking up in their favor. So I'm skeptical when I hear first reports on any one food substance showing itself to be a major factor in health. Such studies may do more harm than good, especially when people consume that substance in larger quantities while they continue other bad health habits. Even plain water can damage your health, if you don't use reason and end up drinking too much of it.
