A study published in the Journal of Women's Health has revealed that daily intake of red wine in moderation can reduce breast cancer risk among women.

A group of researchers from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles said that seeds and skin of red grapes have certain chemicals that mimic as a drug taken to prevent malignant breast tumors from coming back.

The study's co-author, Chrisandra Shufelt, said that the chemical they found in red grape is capable enough to lower the estrogen level in women's body and also raise the testosterone level among premenopausal females.

So, it would be better for women if they would choose red wine over other beverages for their drinks as it would act as a shield against breast cancer risk. If one does not drink then they could also have red grapes.

In order to reach the conclusion, they took two groups. In one group, they asked women to consume red wine for a month, while the other group was asked to take white wine. When a comparison was done after a month, it was found that those women who were having red wine for the last one month had low estrogen and higher testosterone levels.

However, those who were in another group and were having white wine did not show the same effect. Shufelt said, "If you were to have a glass of wine with dinner, you may want to consider a glass of red. Switching may shift your risk".

It is necessary that maximum women should get to know about this research as more than 230,000 women get diagnosed with breast cancer every year in the US. It would not be wrong to say that cancer is the leading cause of death in the country. In 2011, approximately 39,000 adult females died due to it, as informed by the American Cancer Society.
