How many times we heard repeating a glass of red wine is good for health, especially the heart and circulatory system. But in recent weeks, this topic is back in the limelight in the media around the world after the University of Connecticut, who has previously attributed the discovery with his researcher Dipak Das, professor of surgery became director of the Cardiovascular Research Center University of Connecticut thanks to his studies on the beneficial effects of resveratrol - the main antioxidant molecule in red wine - but the University has disclosed that Prof. Dipak Das falsified data on its research, experiments and invented folded the results of the findings that made him more comfortable. It would appear that he did so well 145 times, in 26 different scientific papers. This was announced by the same American university that Das works through an extensive investigation of 60 000 pages lasted three years.
But as there are reasons to "bend" the results of the analysis so there are others to "bend" that not only Dipak but also by other researchers of many universities in other parts of the world was now called "scientific truth" namely, that the molecules of red wine protect the organism.
A media report allegedly dall'IRESMO - European Molecular Sciences Research Institute and the University of Milan, among the many that have been expressed about.
A glass of red wine - they say always - is the best medicine. Legend? Far from it. The wisdom of the old saying is now scientific evidence in the results of scientific and technological research conducted dall'Iresmo (European Molecular Sciences Research Institute).
To take the lead in this field of research were two important molecules: quercetin first and then the resvetrarolo. But alone - experts say - were not sufficient to show all the effects of red wine on the health of the consumer, even more on vascular smooth against the formation of dangerous blood clots for pathological events cerebro and cardio-vascular diseases. "Now in the lab - said prof. Nicola Uccella, professor of chemistry at the University of Calabria and president dell'Iresmo Foundation - some cell cultures were tested to identify the ingredient of red wine with a real effect on the health and welfare of the modern consumer, knowledgeable, experienced and demanding . Mystery revealed. " Have been discovered so active substances in the skin and seeds of red grapes (flavonoids glycosides and procianidoici); substances that dissolve blood and vasodilators.
In short, it is about the two molecules' protector body, the beneficial effect of red wine, consumed in moderation, the circulation of the blood vessels at the level of heart and brain. "Of course, the good red wine - still supports Uccella - must be done well. From blend of excellence, with the right comeback, with the best alcoholic fermentation and biological. It can not be healthy red wine farmer, the little wine to drink it in quantity, a real source of energy. " The Iresmo, in his studies, identified in fitobioattivi red grapes, flavonoids and glycosides procianidoici, those who are the guarantors against heart attacks and stroke, circumstances often, too often harbingers of death.
For bringing to light the effectiveness of the active substances are complex searches, conducted with the participation of experts worldwide. What was regarded as a mere popular belief (the wine makes good blood), suspended between myth and legend, turned out to be - according to studies dell'Iresmo - a truth borne out by the results of scientific-molecular , which is essential to preserve the health of the consumer and give pleasant wellness at the table more authentically Mediterranean.
Come from an Italian study further confirmation of the virtues antioxidants of red wine. In fact, they are now numerous scientific studies that indicate this drink - if taken in moderation, in the doses recommended by scientists - as an element of our diet would be helpful in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. In particular, several benefits are associated with resveratrol, a phenol content in the peel of the grape and equipped with anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties.
The new research, conducted by researchers from the Department Clinical Sciences "Luigi Sacco" University of Milan and coordinated by Professor Welcome Cestaro and Dr. Roberta Cazzola, was published recently in the journal "Food Research International."
Scholars have analyzed the mode of operation of polyphenols extracted from an Italian red wine, and were able to observe their ability to protect from degradation of polyunsaturated fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6 in the blood.
The antioxidant action of polyphenols, according to the researchers report, proved even greater than that carried out by vitamin E. Furthermore, the polyphenols seem able to act more effectively against the omega 3 which do not of omega 6, thereby activating an anti-inflammatory.
The omega-3 and omega-6 have a particularly important role in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, as a proper relationship between these two polyunsaturated fatty acids is essential for the control of the inflammatory response.
The presence of low levels of omega 3 and high levels of omega 6, instead, promotes inflammation. And the chronic inflammatory states may facilitate the onset of various degenerative diseases, including cardiovascular ones.
But how much wine you should drink in order to benefit from its protective action of the heart and arteries?
Experts estimate that the optimal amount of polyphenols to be taken daily should be between half a gram and a gram, or 1-2 glasses of red wine.
In particular, the researchers suggest a glass of wine a day for women and two for men.
We conclude by saying that the molecules of red wine protect the body, and to witness eminent professors are researchers from institutes and universities among the most influential in the world, this is scientific truth does not exploitable.
