Sudah begitu banyak hasil penelitian ilmiah yang
menunjukkan bahwa menenggak anggur secara moderat, dua
gelas sehari, bermanfaat untuk kesehatan...
Tapi orang islam tipikal yang memang dungu-dungu kayak
anjing itu masih percaya saja kepada al-Mushaf yang
TIDAK berbukti berisi wahyu Allah dtapi mengharamkan
khamar...
Allahu Akbar.

Wine may calm inflammation in blood vessels

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Adding to evidence that a
little wine can do a heart good, a new study suggests
that women who drink moderate amounts may have less
inflammation in their blood vessels.
Spanish researchers found that after four weeks of
drinking two glasses of wine per day, women showed
lower levels of certain inflammatory substances in
their blood. The findings, reported in the American
Journal of Clinical Nutrition, suggest a mechanism by
which wine -- particularly red wine -- may protect the
heart.
Numerous studies have found that wine drinkers tend to
have lower rates of heart disease than teetotalers do.
Research also suggests that higher levels of "good"
HDL cholesterol may be one reason, though not a full
explanation of the benefit.
Figuring out exactly how wine may protect the heart is
important in order to prove that the link between wine
and heart health is, in fact, a direct one, according
to Dr. Emilio Sacanella, the lead researcher on the
new study.
Studies that show wine drinkers to have better heart
health do not prove that wine is the reason, explained
Sacanella, of the University of Barcelona. Wine lovers
may, for example, have generally better diets, higher
exercise levels or other heart-healthy habits, he told
Reuters Health.
For their study, Sacanella and his colleagues focused
on the potential effects of wine on inflammation.
Inflammation is part of the body's response to injury.
It's thought that chronic, low-level inflammation --
in response to stresses like smoking, high cholesterol
and obesity -- contributes to the buildup of fatty
deposits called plaques in the inner lining of the
arteries.
Inflammation may also make these plaques more likely
to rupture and create a blood clot that could then
trigger a heart attack.
Sacanella's team recruited 35 healthy women who
regularly drank amounts of wine. Each woman spent four
weeks on a heart-healthy, but wine-free, diet,
followed by four weeks in which they had a glass of
red wine with lunch and dinner. They followed the same
pattern with white wine.
Overall, the study found, the women's HDL levels
climbed after four weeks of drinking, while their
blood levels of a number of inflammatory substances,
such as C-reactive protein, declined. Red wine had a
more pronounced effect than white wine.
The greater benefit of red wine may be related to its
higher concentration of polyphenols, according to the
researchers. Polyphenols are plant compounds that act
as antioxidants and may help reduce inflammation.
According to Sacanella, population studies have
suggested that people who drink moderate amounts of
wine -- about a glass or two per day -- may lower
their risk of dying from heart disease by nearly
one-third compared with non-drinkers.
"So a person who usually drinks up to this quantity of
alcohol should maintain this healthy habit," he said.
However, he added, doctors cannot recommend that
non-drinkers take up the habit, as some people are
vulnerable to drinking problems and the health
consequences that come with that.
