Does drinking grape juice provide the same health benefits as red wine?

Answer 1

No alcohol in red wine helps to pump up your heart when grape juice will not. You need alcohol and grape juice to work on you heart.

Answer 2

Possibly. There is some evidence that drinking red wine may reduce the risk of heart disease. But this benefit is most likely due to other factors such as antioxidants called flavonoids found in red wine. Grapes and red grape juice also contain flavonoids.

Red wine also contains a substance called resveratrol, which may reduce the risk of blood clots. Resveratrol is found in the skin and seeds of grapes. But it isn't known if grapes provide enough resveratrol to have a significant health benefit.

The American Heart Association doesn't recommend that anyone start drinking alcohol just to prevent heart disease. If you already drink alcohol, do so in moderation. Keep in mind that drinking too much alcohol can increase the risk of:

High blood pressure
Obesity
Stroke
Cancer
In addition, even light drinking can lead to alcohol addiction.

Answer 3

It does but the amount you have to drink is @ two bottles of juice (120 ounces) to @ 1 glass of wine...
