The Complete Story on Red Wine and Cancer

Do you drink red wine because it has an appealing aroma, flavor, and often a suppleness of texture (often called “velvetiness”) that reinforces the wine’s complex and generous character? OK, b.s. People drink red wine because they like it. The fact that it has been shown to have certain health benefits is a plus.

But, you don't need and should not start drinking to benefit. Alternatives include grapes, many other fruits and vegetables plus routine physical activity, which combined offer the same benefits for the heart as seen in products that contain alcohol. However, research is building that suggests drinking red wine can combat cancer cells. So, if you already drink wine, red may be the color of choice for the health conscious.

Here's are several resources to review if you want to become an expert on the subject.
