Experts do not recommend abusing any kind of alcohol, but they have identified “protective” properties against coronavirus in red and white wine, as well as champagne.
Chinese scientists have found that drinking champagne, red and white wine can reduce the risk of contracting coronavirus. This is stated in a study, the results of which were published in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition, informs FOOD navigator-asia.com.-
It is noted that experts studied the data of 473,957 people, of which 16,559 tested positive for COVID-19. Participants were divided into three groups: non-drinkers, drinkers in the past, and drinkers still.
The researchers found that people who preferred red wine had the greatest protection against SARS-CoV-2. When drinking from one to five or more glasses of the drink per week, the risk of infection was reduced by 17%.
White wine and champagne drinkers who drank one to four glasses a week were 8% less likely to get sick, but with excessive use (over five glasses a week), the “protective effect” was almost imperceptible.
Those who drank beer and cider, as well as spirits, had a 28% higher risk of contracting the coronavirus, regardless of volume.
