I Am Sure I Raise A Few Eyebrows,

when I mention my daily glass of medicinal red wine, but new research has shown that a daily tipple can help you lose weight, a spokesman for the research team at the Navarro University in Spain said: 'Light-to-moderate alcohol intake, especially of wine, may be more likely to protect against, rather than promote, weight gain', they added that 'the type of alcoholic beverage might play an important role in modifying the effect of alcohol consumption on weight gain' with more favourable effects generally seen among wine drinkers,

importantly the The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research, reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions, particularly that current data does not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight, Boston University's Dr. Harvey Finkel found that the biological mechanisms relating to alcohol changes in body weight are not properly understood, His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of conditions like metabolic syndrome and diabetes, both of which relate to increasing obesity, some studies suggest even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers, so there you have it, a glass a day keeps fat away, I must try to remember stopping after the first glass!
