Do you love having a glass of red wine in the evening while you unwind with a favourite novel or while having a classy conversation with friends? Well, especially if you’re a premenopausal woman with regular ovulatory cycles, you may be in luck. The benefits of red wine for cardiovascular health have been well-known for a while, but a recent study has shown that drinking it in moderate quantities can decrease the risk of breast cancer. The study was published online in the Journal of Women’s Health and involved 36 women randomly assigned to drink a glass of either Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay daily for almost a month. Researchers found that chemicals in the wine lowered women’s estrogen levels, leading to a lower risk of breast cancer. Compounds dissolved in red wine have similar effects to aromatase inhibitors, a class of drugs used to treat breast cancer, which are involved in preventing testosterone from being converted to estrogen in the body.
