New study claims Red wine prevents cholesterol build up from meat

(CellarVieWines) - A Sunday roast just isn’t the same without a lovely glass of red wine and now it appears a cheeky sup of claret will actually diminish the unhealthy effects of eating red meat.
According to scientists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, a glass of red wine can prevent the build-up of cholesterol after a meal of dark or red meat.
The study indicated that antioxidants known as polyphenols that are present in the wine can prevent harmful compounds from being absorbed in the gut so they are therefore stopped from entering the blood stream where harm subsequently occurs.
