About this episode
Wine's impact on health has been under the microscope for the past few years, with numerous headlines citing its cancer-causing potential. Sales are down across the industry and consumption has dropped substantially. These stories certainly are fear-inducing, yet many don't paint the full picture. It seems for every study that claims that a glass (yes, a glass) a day will kill you, there's another that has found low- to-moderate consumption of alcohol is fine or can even boast potential benefits. So, what the heck gives? To better understand wine's ride on the wellness roller coaster, we spoke to Wine Enthusiast contributor Kate Dingwall about the whiplash. She's been covering these oftentimes contradictory papers for us over the past year, talking to doctors and researchers about the latest news and reports. Is there a guest you want us to interview?
