Is Wine Good For You?

We have seen articles touting the health benefits of wine, the potential downsides of drinking wine, what it can do for your mental health, and everything in between. I honestly don't even know if the current outlook on wine is positive or negative given all of the conflicting viewpoints on the subject. We are inundated with fad diets and an ever-changing data on what a balanced and healthy diet looks like. Today it is Atkins, tomorrow it is Paleo.

Eggs were good for us, and then bad for us, and now they are good for us again. Dark chocolate is good for you also! Or is it?

Taking a step back, we have been drinking wine for thousands of years as a species, and are still around to tell the tale, so how bad could it be?! Drinking it as your only source of fluids is obviously a bad idea, but a life without it is probably somewhat less enjoyable. As with all things - chocolate, eggs, even gluten - moderation is key.

So while the science keeps flip-flopping, I say drink up and enjoy!
