Your liver may thank you

June 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

More good news about the potential health benefits of moderate wine consumption. A recent study in the journal Hematology reports that adults that consumed 1 glass of wine per day had half the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) compared to non-drinkers.

What is even more intriguing, to me at least, is that people that drank 12 oz. of beer or 1 oz. of liquor per day had a 4-times higher risk of NAFLD compared to the wine drinkers. Still, there is no evidence that drinking more than a single glass of wine has any benefit.

Hat tip to the Washington Post article “Daily Glass of Wine Cut Risk of Fatty Liver Disease“.
