Red Wine to Prevent Prostate Cancer in Men

Researchers who published their findings online in The International Journal of Cancer found that men who consumed four or more glasses of red wine per week reduced their risk of prostate cancer by 50 percent.

Drinking a glass of red wine a day may cut a man's risk of prostate cancer in half, and the protective effect appears to be strongest against the most aggressive forms of the disease, according to a new study led by investigators at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

Interestingly, they found no significant effects, positive nor negative, associated with the consumption of beer or hard liquor and no consistent risk reduction with white wine, which suggests that there must be a beneficial compound in red wine that other types of alcohol lack.
