are you confused by so many food fads
out there by so many people with
competing information about nutrition
today we are talking about is red wine
good for you I'm Robin open Sean I'm
known online as the green smoothie girl
and I want to talk to you today about
this idea that research tells us we
should all be drinking a couple glasses
of red wine every night so the first
thing that I want to say about this if
you think that I'm going to take a stand
at the end of this about red wine is
wonderful for you or red wine is
terrible for you you're gonna be
disappointed but let me help you with
your critical thinking skills in case
you've never really thought this issue
through that research came out and it
went crazy in the in the media and
that's a lot because of an engine of a
major industry and often with research
this is the case where if you traced it
back and usually you have to go back
through universities who paid who were
the ones doing the research but who paid
for it before that it's not easy to
trace that back but when dad has started
to emerge it was clear that guess who
paid for the studies that say that red
wine is good for you
unsurprisingly it tends to be the snow
medalie Napa Valley wine growers okay
industries pay for research all the time
this should not surprise you so does
this mean that red wine is terrible for
you
probably not but red wine has two major
things I want you to consider if you're
about to adopt a red wine habit or to
excuse drinking very much alcohol is
that red wine is full of sulfites
sulfites are very toxic and most people
have a major sensitivity to them they're
probably the reason you get headaches if
you drink red wine and also red wine
house alcohol in it alcohol is terrible
for your liver you already know that so
the thing is what's so great about red
wine it has resveratrol in it
well resveratrol is a wonderful
antioxidant but you can take it in a
pill that doesn't have alcohol in it and
doesn't have sulfites in it
you can get resveratrol from drinking
grape juice it doesn't have alcohol in
it you can get resveratrol from eating
grapes the whole food with all the fiber
so if you're thinking about drinking red
wine or if you justify red wine habit I
hate being the naysayer I don't like to
be debbie downer but if you're going to
drink it organic drink it very minimally
and just know you can get risk very
trough from other places that don't have
alcohol and sulfites just something for
you to think about if you liked this
