DIVINE WINE STOPS HEART ATTACKS
A little bit of wine may not only prevent heart disease, but help people who've already had one heart attack prevent a second one, French researchers reported yesterday.
Middle-aged men who had had one heart attack and who drank two or more glasses of wine regularly were 50 percent less likely than nondrinkers to have a second heart attack. Dr. Michel de Lorgeril, of the Joseph Fourier University of Grenoble, studied 353 men who had just had heart attacks. The rate of subsequent cardiac problems among the men appeared to diminish as the their wine consumption increased, up to four or five glasses a day.
The study was published in the journal Circulation, published by the American Heart Association.
