Is a glass of red wine a day really good for your heart? For years, people have believed that moderate red wine consumption could help prevent heart disease, thanks to the famous French Paradox. The idea was that the French enjoyed diets high in saturated fats yet had lower rates of heart attacks, and many credited their regular red wine intake.
But what does the science actually say?
In this video, we explore the truth about red wine and heart health, including the role of resveratrol, flavonoids, antioxidants, and the French Paradox. You’ll discover why the amount of resveratrol found in red wine is far too low to provide meaningful health benefits and why experts now agree that no amount of alcohol is completely risk-free for your health.
We also look at healthier natural sources of resveratrol, including blueberries, raspberries, apples, plums, grapes, and peanuts, and explain why the red wine health benefits story may be one of the most persistent nutrition myths ever told.

The French drink good quality, locally produced wine – a fermented product – not the mass produced filtered slop laced with sulphites that we get in this country.
