People probably love to tell each other that red wine is good for heart. It’s not. First off, alcohol is loaded with sugar. Drink enough of it, and you will get fat. That’s why they call it beer belly, not celery belly.
Also, the antioxidants in red wine are not as helpful as people think. The antioxidant found in red wine is resveratrol which is said to be good for heart health but You have to drink maybe a hundred liters of red wine per day to get enough resveratrol for it to have any effect, which would almost certainly kill you.
But even setting all that aside, and it’s a lot to set aside, the problem with red wine is reverse causation. Basically, it’s not the people who drink zero alcohol who get sick; it’s that people who are sick tend to give up alcohol.
Simply the more you drink, the worse you are. You are inviting metabolic disorder like Diabetes and cardiovascular disease like hypertension and coronary heart disease (blockage).
Now, I’m not saying you can’t drink alcohol, but you can’t think it’s good for your heart. That’s a myth.
