Comment: My Raw Food Experiences (Michelle)

Well actually, a little red wine in moderation is perfectly ok you know. It's a good antioxidant. Studies have shown drinking red wine in moderation can reduce risks of aero-digestive tract, lung cancers and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma by 20-40 per cent as well as bowel cancer by around 20 per cent. "Phenolic compounds [found heavily in red wine] work by preventing the initiation, progression and growth of cancer cells,". I found a quote from the professor and co-director of the Glenn Labs for Molecular Biological Aging at Harvard Medical School "We believe resveratrol [found heavily in red wine] protects from aging and disease." And other studies show that it may also reduce your risk of developing certain dementias such as Alzheimer's. Beer and Cidar on the other hand are too heavily ladden with carbs which if you don't exercise enough are going to increase your waist line and increase your risk of heart attack so its up to you which way you want to go.
