Red wine could help to protect teeth by staving off gum disease, according to Canadian scientists.
The article says that similar results can be found in cranberry juice as well.
Other issues studies show about wine:
Moderate drinkers have consistently been shown to have lower death rates than non-drinkers
It appears that moderate drinking protects against heart disease
How it works is still in dispute. The chemicals in wine have antioxidant properties, and alcohol dilates small blood vessels and inhibits clotting
A 2003 study suggested that wine also decreased the risk of peptic ulcers
A study of nurses at Harvard School of Public Health concluded that moderate drinking by women cut the risk of diabetes by 58 per cent
