Red Wine For Women?

It is well-known. that red wine is good for heart health, but it unfortunately is shown in a recent study to increase chances of breast cancer in women. However, our knowledge of the link between red wine and breast cancer is still in its infancy. More studies must be done.

The recommendation by experts is to either refrain from drinking or limit drinking to 4 glasses or less per week. If you do drink, be sure to take a multivitamin daily (containing at least 400mcg of folate).
