RE: How toxic metabolites accumulation may be blocked by compounds found in red wine and green tea.
Hey good post! Green tea also contains fluoride which can lead to skeletal fluorosis if consumed in EXCESSIVE amounts. Wine contains alcohol which simply is not healthy. You can get many of the same effects from eating apples. They contain antioxidants as well as many polyphenols. I think we should all move away from the idea that antioxidants are a cure to everything. They are necessary, but usually people get enough. If you consume too many, you can actually harm your body.
I kind of like your casual style, it’s engaging for readers who don’t like the science heavy stuff. Please continue writing stem posts. Cheers!
Thanks for the compliment. I appreciate your contribution as well. If you noticed, almost all through the write up, I was using the word 'moderate'!, 'moderate'!, 'moderate'!. Of a truth, too much of anything is bad, not just red wine or green tea, anything at all. In fact, try eating too much apple, and you'd be surprised at how much harm it can do to you. But because apple is bad when consumed excessively, doesn't mean that apple is bad when consumed moderately. In the same connection, don't underestimate the health benefits of both green tea and red wine when consumed moderately.
I really do like your comment. Thanks a lot for coming around. Cheers to you too!!!
Yeah, I agree, moderation is important. However, alcohol is bad even in small amounts. I just wanted to show that you can get everything healthy from wine by eating fruit and vegetable. The green tea and fluorosis thing was more of a joke, sorry I got a really dry humor. The simple truth is, the recipe for health has been known for a loooong time. Vegetables and fruit, nuts, fish and little meat in addition to an active lifestyle is all you need. No superfoods, no supplements, no magical voodoo. If you want to drink alcohol, do it, but don’t think it is healthy. Alcohol is for pleasure, I drink too, and there is nothing wrong with it. Cheers!
