Wine Doesn't Help Your Heart as Previously Believed

Belinda Linden, head of medical information at the British Heart Foundation says the study suggests that light to moderate alcohol consumption may only give a small amount of protection against coronary heart disease, while the benefits of moderate to heavy drinking are likely to be outweighed by the overall harm that alcohol can cause.
She also says there does not appear to be any evidence to suggest that light to moderate alcohol consumption will actually harm the heart, however over indulging can have an adverse effect on your health.
Linden says people should not be encouraged to start drinking specifically to protect their heart, as there are much safer options and their advice remains that the best way to reduce the risk of heart disease is to quit smoking if you smoke, increase levels of physical activity and eat a healthy balanced diet.
