Benefits of White WineAs a result of the experimentScientists at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine in Farmington found that rats given white wine in their diet suffered less damage during cardiac arrest than animals given only water or . This beneficial effect is similar to the effects of animals drinking red wine or its miracle ingredient resveratrol, which is found only in grape skins, according to a study published in New Scientist. White wine, made from peeled grapes, does not contain resveratrol. Resveratrol is believed to be the cause of the so-called "French paradox" (high fat intake and low heart disease) in the context of moderate red wine consumption. It is not only red wines that can do this, says the study's leader, molecular biologist Dipak Das. According to him, the berry itself can have the same effect as its skin. After careful molecular studies of heart cells, scientists have concluded that tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol, found in white wine, have the same effect as resperatrol from red wine, namely, they protect the mitochondria, the cell's powerhouse.
