Your liver won't whine when you drink wine

We've read about so many benefits of red wine, haven't we? How it helps your heart and blood pressure? Well, a new cross-sectional study looked at over 12,000 people and added your liver to the list of things red wine benefits in your body.

The study found that people who drank up to one glass of wine per day saw their risk of liver disease stop by about half. Specifically, they examined NAFLD, known as Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, which is the most common form in the US. The resveratrol (a polyphenol and anti-fungal chemical) present just under the skin in red wine grapes is believed to be the major reason for this benefit. The same study confirmed that beer and other forms of alcohol can harm the liver, just as we figured all along, so remember, this is just wine we're talking about here.
