Why have some studies found evidence supporting the hypothesis that moderate consumption of wine reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease to a greater extent than other alcoholic beverages such as beer?
What will be an ideal response?
Such differences may be due to the polyphenols found in wine that are especially high in red wine given that its red color is due to the skin of the grapes being used in the fermentation process where these compounds are especially concentrated. Along with the polyphenols, the plant hormone resveratrol, a vasodilator and antioxidant found in high concentrations in red wine is believed to play a health protective role by some experts. Therefore, red wine, in particular, is believed by some to have health advantages over other types of alcoholic beverages, including white wine.
