flag Moderate wine intake linked to 21% lower heart disease death risk vs. other alcohols, study finds.

flag A large UK study of over 340,000 adults found that while high alcohol intake increases risks of death, cancer, and heart disease regardless of type, moderate wine consumption was linked to a 21% lower risk of cardiovascular death compared to spirits, beer, or cider, even at similar intake levels. flag Low to moderate consumption of other alcoholic beverages was associated with a 9% higher death risk. flag Researchers suggest beneficial compounds in red wine and healthier drinking patterns may explain the difference, though the study relied on self-reported data and cannot prove causation.
