A member asked:
What makes drinking wine better (healthier) than just eating grapes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They are equal: Eating red grapes and drinking red wine probably provides the same amount of antioxidants, including resveratrol and flavonoids. These reduce the risk of blood clots, reduce LDL cholesterol, prevent damage to blood vessels in your heart, and help maintain normal blood pressure. Antioxidants are higher in red grapes and wine than white; also greater in grape skin, stems, & leaves than pulp.
