Is this true .........

Yeah I heard that too!

Thats what my doc told my gran..so now she has an excuse to drink every night!

As with anything too much of a good thing can be bad. Yes it might lower cholesterol but it could increase the chance of liver problems. Tanons in red wine can cause migraines. What affects you may not affect me so who knows what your body would do after a while.

It is true...but not one glass, just about 20 ml.

Some alcohols binds to bad cholesterol...some raise the levels of good cholesterol.

Take it like a medicine, not like a drink. Alcohol does put tremendous pressure on the liver.

Other good sources that reduces bad cholesterol / increases good cholesterol are -

1. PUFA oils - like olive oil, gingelly oil.

2. Nuts.

3. Soya chunks

4. Cornflakes (it contains niacin - the plain one, w/o ne flavour)

5. exercise.

6. Oats

Drinking one glass of red wine can boost your good cholesterol, HDL. Any more than that and you run the risk of increasing bad cholesterol, LDL. The liver actually manufactures LDL and secretes LDL into your bloodstream. Play with your liver enough and you can really mess up cholesterol levels.

I'm not sure about lower your cholesterol, but I know red wine has antioxidants. You can get the same antioxidants from grapes, though... and that's much healthier

Apparently is can help. I drink a whole bottle every day and have no cholesterol.

That's the theory. But the medical community comes out with these kinds of things every two weeks, and who knows if they're true? I mean, how many times have they changed their mind about eggs?

cheerios lower your cholesterol

I've only heard that it's good for your heart. But I guess that's in the same boat.

Well I'm not drinking even thats true.Drinking can mess you up.
