For years, we have heard that red wine may be good for our heart health. Specifically, Resveratrol, a component found in grapes was thought to have protective effects. Now, science has shed more light on this. Recent studies have shown that resveratrol reduces the production of TMAO, a compound which forms in the liver and then moves into the bloodstream and can contribute to heart attacks. See the linked article for more detail. In the mean time, hoist a glass or two of your favorite Cabernet!
