At the end of the "70", speaking of the beneficial effect of wine on health seemed to be nonsense. And yet it already existed, in international medical and scientific literature, some very well documented reports suggesting that wine, in moderation, could be beneficial to health. Drunk moderately, about a 100ml glass per meal (usually 2 to 4 glasses a day) wine is beneficial to health, reducing by nearly 40% the risk of myocardium infarct and by nearly 25% cerebral vascular thrombosis. Wine seems to liquefy the blood, reducing the risk of platelets aggregation and therefore of coagulation. Wine must be drunk regularly with each meal, to avoid a higher risk of coagulation if one stops suddenly.   Related Books Red Wine for Your Health, by Andrea Schafferr The Wine Bible by Karen MacNeil French Wine Bookstore-France, Books in English about France   Next: Did you know this ? - Wine components - Wine and infarct - The French Paradox - Wine and cancer - Wine and Alzheimer's disease
