Truth: The difference between red wine and white wine
is that red wine is made with the grape skins and not white. The phenolic
antioxidants are present in the peel, therefore, only red wines are rich in
these compounds and therefore do well to the heart. The antioxidants present in
grapes have a role in improving endothelial function, induce dilation of
arteries and inhibiting oxidation of LDL (low density lipoprotein).
Reds and whites also differ for the content of anthocyanins - molecules
responsible for pigmentation - and therefore absent in white grape. There is
evidence that phenolics found in grapes and red wine can inhibit LDL oxidation
in vitro, as can its use in preventing atherosclerosis.
Importantly, despite the red wine be recommended for prevention of
cardiovascular diseases, their consumption should be moderate and done under
the supervision and guidance of a nutritionist or doctor.
