A member asked:
Having a history of fatty liver disease, should i still consume a glass or half of red wine a day for cardio-protective effects?

No: No the benefits are not enough to justify the risks to your liver.

May be not: Fatty liver is usually caused by high storage of triglycerides -- and this is caused by too much calorie intakes from perhaps diet or alcohol and usually the liver enzymes is mildly elevated. So, i don't think i would advise you to drink wine for cardioprotective at this time, instead i would advise you to take up exercise and healthy diet and weight management --.
