Is it good for your health to drink appropriately? Research reveals that a glass of red wine every day is not good for you

【The highlight of this article】New research in the journal of the American Medical Association shows that people who drink one or two glasses of wine or about 25 grams a day have similar risks to those who never drink in their entire lives, breaking the myth that past people generally believe that proper drinking wine or other alcoholic beverages are good for health. Women drink more than 25 grams of alcohol a day, and men drink more than 45 grams of alcohol a day, and their risk of death will increase significantly. Alcohol can damage DNA and produce oxidative pressures, which may lead to sclerosis, elevated blood pressure and coronary disease. Drinking of any degree can lead to the loss of healthy life. --by ChatGPT

Many people think a drink a day is good for health, but according to a new study recently published in the JAMA Network Open, there is no definite evidence that proper drinks can make you live longer.

The sacrificial analysis examined the data from 107 studies involving nearly 50,000 people's health and drinking habits. Researchers have found that people who drink one or two glasses of wine or about 25 grams a day have similar risks of premature death compared to those who never drink in their lifetime, breaking the myth that past people generally believe that proper drinking of wine or other alcoholic beverages is good for you.

In addition, studies have shown that even a drink can cause injuries: women drink more than 25 grams of alcohol a day, and men drink more than 45 grams of alcohol a day, and their risk of death will increase significantly. In other words, drinking for women can be more dangerous.

In fact, more and more research is questioning the view that drinking is suitable for health. For example, the World Heart Federation pointed out in its policy brief in 2022 that "alcohol is not good for heart disease," and added in the statement that "any degree of alcohol can lead to the loss of healthy life."

Why do people think red wine is healthy?

The belief that drinking every day is good for you can be traced back to the 1990s, when researchers discovered the "French paradox", that is, French diets are high in fat, but French people have much lower heart disease rates.

They will have this paradox because of Mediterranean diet, especially the appropriate red wine consumption. Although some researchers believe that lifestyle factors are not under control in the study, which may distort the results, the idea of suitable drinking to improve health is widely accepted.

Will antioxidants in red wine make it healthy?

Red wine contains antioxidants from grape skins that are not found in white wine or other types of alcohol. For example, red wine is rich in citrusol, a plant polyphenol compound that can be used as an antioxidant. It has been found that it can reduce inflammation and provide protection against cancer and heart disease. Quinoagra can also be found in peanuts, blueberries and cranberries.

However, studies have also shown that humans cannot obtain any intentional health benefits from sufficient antioxidants from red wine.

Why is alcohol so harmful to the body?

Marissa Esser, the chief executive of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Alcohol Project, said scientists believe that alcohol causes health problems is to damage DNA. When you drink, your body will be acetaldehyde, a chemical substance that is toxic to cells. Acetaldehyde can not only damage your DNA, but also prevent your body from repairing damage. Once your DNA is damaged, cells will grow out of control and cause cancerous tumors.

Alcohol also produces oxidative stress, another form of DNA damage that can be particularly harmful to cells in the blood vessels. Oxidative pressure can lead to stiffening of the blood pressure, leading to increased blood pressure and coronary disease. Esser points out that alcohol fundamentally affects DNA, which is why it affects such a multi-organ system.
