polyphenols, only discovered in red wine, decrease the manufacture of endothelin-1 in the walls of arteries. This reduction is directly related to the level of polyphenols in red wine, with Cabernet Sauvignon topping the list as having the most positive impact.

Because of the antioxidants, the doctors say you should have one glass of red wine each day. I heard this on the radio 2 days ago that because of one glass consumption each day by the vast majority in places such as France, they are the least likely to get certain cancers. France anyone??!!! lol
