This particular obscure study got picked up and ‘woooo!’ exaggerated in practically every publication from here to Timbuctoo. Once you unpick the actual study however, you find that they’re only talking about one teeny tiny element found in red wine. An antioxidant called resveratrol. Which you’d be infinitely better getting from blueberries, peanut butter, red grapes or dark chocolate, given how dangerous alcohol is. Saying you should drink alcohol for the resveratrol is like saying you should swim a swamp filled with alligators. Because swimming is good for you.
