Wine sinks blood sugar levels



(from the German magazine “Spiegel”, No. 48, Nov. 26, 2007, page 151)

“According to a team of Israeli researchers led by Iris Shai at the Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Beersheva, one glass of wine per day is apparently healthy for those who suffer from type 2 diabetes. The scientists had about one hundred diabetics between the ages of 41 and 74 years, who had been teetotallers up to that time, drink either 1.5 deciliters of wine or non-alcoholic beer each day for three months. The wine drinkers' blood sugar level on an empty stomach decreased during this time by an average of one sixth, and the control group’s blood sugar level remained unchanged. One of the pleasant side-effects of the alcohol cure was that the test subjects said that they found it easier to get to sleep than they had before.”

If you drink wine for medicinal purposes, it should be healthy wine grown organically instead of wine produced using conventional methods.
