Tannins Are Awesome, Resveratrol Too

2/2/2021

Hey all,
Can you believe we're in February already? And it's always a fantastic time for good news, especially about wine. So the president of Taiwan's China Medical University is also the lead scientist on their anti-coronavirus treatments. They have found that wine tannins inhibit effectively 2 enzymes of the virus. That means drinking wine, specifically wines with tannins will stop SARS virus. The polyphenol compounds are also antioxidants and scavenge free radicals. This leads to anti-inflammatory effects. It was shown that tannins prevent infection and control the virus growth. Of course they're talking about making a drug for it but just cut to the chase and drink wine. 

And  newish study from University at Buffalo.

Compound found in red wine opens door for new treatments for depression, anxiety

Here's the study summary: A new study has revealed that the plant compound resveratrol, which is found in red wine, displays anti-stress effects by blocking the expression of an enzyme related to the control of stress in the brain.

The takeaway is drink 2 glasses of wine a day. Though red wine has more tannins and reservation, white wines are excellent also and provides equal results. Take care
