Are Red Wines’ Heart Benefits Confirmed Despite American Skepticism

Does red wine have health benefits? Americans are not convinced. But while doubts about the health qualities of wine are raised in America, France offers new confirmations of its multiple medical applications.

But let’s go in order. To temper enthusiasm and raise questions about the properties of “oenological medicine,” supported in the past also by scientific studies conducted in Veneto, are the doctors of Aha, American Health Association, the association of American cardiologists. They claim there is no evidence that red wine can help fight heart attack, as is believed in Europe.

For researchers across the Atlantic, therefore, the benefits of resveratrol for the cardiovascular system, the polyphenolic compound abundantly found in passito red wines, particularly Valpolicella Recioto and Amarone, are not proven.

The positions of American skeptics

Voicing the concerns of American skeptical cardiologists is Cnn, the global television giant, which in its health pages on the website Cnnitalia.it reports their theories in an article published under the title “Red wine against heart attacks? Americans say there is no evidence.”
