Red wine reduces cancer risks
Published: 23 July, 2008
New research shows drinking the equivalent of a bottle of red wine a day reduces the risk of getting cancer.
The latest study published in The FASEB journal reports that rats received various doses of polyphenol compounds, which are contained in red wine, over a period of two weeks.
Results showed that in very high quantities, polyphenols could prevent the growth of cancerous tumours by inhibiting the formation of new blood vessels.
While the medical profession is unlikely to suggest that people drink a bottle of red wine every day, it is possible that these polyphenols could be extracted for use in the form of a safe and relatively cheap pill. Polyphenols can also be found in fruit, vegetables and green tea
