From an article entitled "Red wine not recommended for cancer prevention, says Cancer Research UK" found at cancerresearchuk.org published on July 9, 2008:
Quote:
Henry Scowcroft said: "From the point of view of cancer prevention, there is no such thing as 'good alcohol'. Overwhelming evidence suggests that, even in moderate amounts, alcohol increases the risk of several cancers including breast cancer.
"It is possible that resveratrol, on its own, may one day be developed into a cancer preventing drug, but any beneficial effects it has in red wine are most likely completely outweighed by the alcohol."

It may interest the reader to know that resveratrol is found in the grape prior to fermentation. The alcohol is not needed for the benefits of the juice. Alcohol is a toxin and was never meant to be the recreational drink that so may advocate
