The Red Wine Study Many Are Raising Their Glasses Too

An analysis of the relationship of red and white wine drinking and C19 infection shows an association with benefits to raising a glass? Caution all but at least hypothesis-generating. Do you know your Lp(a) level, your patient's levels? The prognostic power of Lp(a) suggests you should as I check in 100% of my clinic visits. CIMT is a powerful tool I use routinely to track plaque and it is valid in children too. Broccoli, aging, cherry juice, and dietary epigenetics finish the list with a bowed head and a walking meditation in memory of Thich Nhat Nahn.

The study found that those who drank one to two glasses of red wine per day had between a 10 and 17 percent lower risk of getting Covid-19 when compared with teetotalers. White wine drinkers in the study who drank between one and four glasses a week reduced their risk of contracting Covid-19 by 7 to 8 percent.

Meanwhile, beer and cider drinkers increased their risk of contracting the virus by 28 percent over non-drinkers, regardless of the amount they consumed. Those who drink five or more hard alcohol drinks a week also increased their risk of infection. Heavy drinkers of all types of alcohol also had an increased risk.
