Red, red wine - Scoop: health fitness nutrition diet supplements personal care environment - French wine higher in flavonoids than German wine - Brief Article
Vegetarian Times, May, 2003
French wines are richer in heart-healthy flavonoids than German wines, enabling them to boost the levels of a special enzyme in the body by as much as four times. The enzyme--called endothelial nitric oxide synthase--protects blood vessels from clotting and prevents plaque from building up. German scientists, not patriotic Frenchmen, reached these conclusions, the February 3, 2003 Journal of the American College of Cardiology reports.
"One or two glasses of red wine in the evening is good for you," lead researcher Ulrich Forstermann, MD, PhD, of Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany, says. A votre sante!
