Red Wine Could Be Good For Digestive System.
Scientists at King’s College London have found that red wine drinkers have a greater diversity of bacteria in their digestive tracts, a marker of gastrointestinal wellbeing, than those who drink other alcohol.
Lead author Caroline Le Roy told AFP that while there had been some previous research on animals and in lab experiments that showed red wine expanded gut microbiota, there had never been a large human study. The team even noted a slight reduction in the hormone insulin, too much of which can lead to diabetes, but suspect that effect is not mediated by the gut microbia and something else may be at play.One of the major drawbacks of so-called “association” studies based on observations about populations is that they do not demonstrate causation, and a one-off finding that appears to show a positive correlation can be the result of luck.
Recruiting twins had the benefit of removing potential outside factors such as genetic predisposition and early socioeconomic background. White wine has similar alcohol content to red, but with six to seven times less concentration in polyphenols.
