In this study, researchers from Spain examined the associations of moderate alcohol intake and the type of alcoholic beverage with metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers. Their findings were published in the journal Nutrition Research.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that moderate alcohol intake (mostly wine) could benefit heart health by increasing HDL-c and adiponectin levels.
