The "European Secret" to Fighting Cholesterol is Backed by Conclusive Medical Research
What's in Red Wine that is good for the heart?
Red wine is a particularly rich source of antioxidants, most studies have uncovered two major constituents, that are effective in reducing cholesterol. These are resveratrol and saponin. Resveratrol, found in grape skins and seeds, increases HDL cholesterol and prevents blood from clotting. Flavonoids exhibit antioxidant properties helping prevent blood clots and plaque formation in your arteries. Finally new studies show that Saponin from grape skins blocks the absorption of cholesterol. |

Clinical Studies shows Red Wine Increased HDL Levels (The Good Cholesterol)
Many studies show the benefits of red wine. This health benefit has been linked to the presence of an antioxidant called resveratrol
A 2004 study found that red wine increased levels of HDL the good cholesterol. Forty-six men between ages 35 and 65 participated in the study. Their dietary patterns, including alcohol intake, were examined through a process in which a dietitian helped participants recall their food consumption over the previous three days. The men also completed an extensive questionnaire on their drinking habits. They were categorized into three groups on the basis of their self-reported alcohol consumption: teetotalers, regular drinkers (who drank less than 35 grams of alcohol each day), and heavy drinkers (who drank 35 to 60 grams of alcohol each day).
After participants fasted overnight, their blood samples were analyzed for HDL and other components related to cardiovascular disease. Researchers analyzed the nutrition data and collected information on smoking and medical history, including current blood pressure and physical activity, to mitigate the possibility that other factors caused the HDL differences in the three groups.
The study showed that the increase in HDL levels observed in regular drinkers is associated with an enrichment of HDL particles in polyunsaturated phospholipids, and particularly in those containing omega-3 fatty acids, an effect that might be, in itself, beneficial against cardiovascular diseases.
Saponin in Red Wine Blocks the Absorption of Cholesterol
Red wine is a source of saponins, which can reduce cholesterol levels, according to a new study at the University of California. They have analyzed six Californian wines for saponin content. On average, a glass of red wine contains about half of the approximate daily intake of saponins in the diet.
The researchers say that the saponins, which are found in the skin of grapes, block the absorption of cholesterol. The higher the alcohol content of the wine, the higher its saponin content - perhaps because alcohol solubilized saponins. Other food sources of saponins include olive oil and soybeans.
