Do you suffer from tooth problems like tooth decay, gum disease or have a sore throat? Do not worry, as I have a solution for it. Just get into the habit of taking a glass of wine everyday to keep these problems at a bay. As a new study that was conducted by Italian scientists has revealed that a regular glass of wine helps in preventing tooth decay, gum disease and in healing sore throats. It is both the red and the white wine varieties that have powerful germ-killing ingredients. Previous findings reveal that moderate consumption of red wine reduces the risk of disease like heart, cancer and Alzheimer’s. As a matter of fact, since ancient time wine’s antibacterial qualities are well known, however, there have been very little investigations in the modern time. A team that was led by Professor Gazzani’s conducted the study. They used bottles of supermarket Valpolicella and Pinot Nero wines for the research, which they poured into bowls containing bacteria. Professor Gazzani’s said on her research: Overall, our findings seem to indicate that wine can act as an effective anti-microbial agent against streptococci bacteria and upper respiratory tract infections. We should still drink wine because it tastes good, goes well with food and is a pleasure to share with company. And we should still brush and floss our teeth the accepted way. The study has been published in the American Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
