A 6 page paper. Does red wine really reduce risk for coronary heart disease? It was in the early 20th century that evidence showed moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages reduced the risk of heart disease. The writer reports these studies and the studies demonstrating the health benefits of a daily glass of red wine.

beverages (Mukamal and Rimm, 2001). More formal scientific research into this issue began more than three decades ago (Mukamal and Rimm, 2001). Studies began by comparing the amount of alcohol
used by persons with confirmed coronary disease and persons who did not have such diseases (Mukamal and Rimm, 2001). Longitudinal studies followed both healthy drinkers, i.e., moderate, and abstainers
to determine their incidence of heart disease (Mukamal and Rimm, 2001). In both cases, those persons who consumed a moderate amount of alcohol "had lower rates of coronary heart disease
compared with abstainers" (Mukamal and Rimm, 2001, p. 255). There were more than 50,000 men in one study so it was a large project (Mukamal and Rimm, 2001). "Men
who consumed 5.1-30 grams of alcohol, (about 0.3-2 standard drinks (1)) per day had a 29 percent lower risk of suffering either nonfatal myocardial infarction or fatal heart disease than
did abstainers" (Mukamal and Rimm, 2001, p. 255). More than 50 studies confirmed that having one drink every one to two days results in a "17 percent lower risk
of nonfatal myocardial infarction" (Mukamal and Rimm, 2001, p. 255). The research remains controversial in terms of cause and effect; thus far, a direct link cannot be drawn specifically between
consuming a drink and lower risk of heart disease (Mukamal and Rimm, 2001). That same controversy tends to surround what is referred to as the French paradox (Mukamal and Rimm,
2001). The French are known for their diet of high fats as well as cigarette smoking but at the same time, there is a relatively low rate of heart disease
among the population (Mukamal and Rimm, 2001). It was suggested that the habit of drinking wine with every meal may be the reason (Mukamal and Rimm, 2001). There have been
