A glass or two of wine per day may increase the amount of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids in a person's blood. The study of European adults found that those who drank in moderation tended to have higher blood levels of omega-3 -- even when intake of fish, the major dietary source of the fats, was taken into account. The results also point to an additional explanation for why wine drinking, in moderation, has been linked to a lower risk of heart disease, the researchers report in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Steve - this is an interesting development that we will keep our eye on. For adult females, a 5 oz. glass of wine is usually safe if tolerated. For men, 10 oz. is fine.
