I don't know when it started, but red wine became a "sacred health care product" in many people's minds after it entered China. These "healthy red wine" statements have also convinced many people! But in fact, this is just a well-planned marketing scam!
Red wine health is actually a 100% marketing scam!
Is "keeping healthy with red wine" really so magical? This should also start from the origin of red wine sweeping the world.
From the 1980s and 1990s, Americans at that time were deeply troubled by coronary heart disease, thinking that only by staying away from alcohol, tobacco and high-fat and high-calorie foods can coronary heart disease be prevented and controlled. Drinks that once contained alcohol became terrible drinks in America.
At the same time, in the 1990s, young people in many European countries preferred beer, which was rich in foam, refreshing in taste, malt-flavored and cheap ... all these greatly reduced the sales of wine. The whole wine industry is in a "recession" state.
But there are many turning points in people's life, and the turning point of red wine is the "French paradox". In order to save the whole traditional wine industry, this kind of health scam for marketing came into being.
A "French paradox" marketing has greatly promoted the development of wine and saved the decline of the whole wine industry.
18 19 An Irish doctor named Samuel Blair found that French people's living habits and climatic conditions are not much better than Ireland's, but the proportion of angina pectoris in French people is lower than Ireland's. However, this advanced report did not attract the attention of academic circles at that time.
It was not until 199 1 that a program named "60 Minutes Fact Magazine" on American CBS TV reported this experimental result that the image before red wine was officially and completely "transformed". ①
This theory of French Institute of Health became the theory of American drinking wine, and this "French paradox" spread all over the world and entered China.
Come to think of it, France has always been one of the largest wine producers and exporters in the world.
Later, some experts found that the so-called "high cholesterol intake of French people" and "low mortality rate of coronary heart disease" were only illusions caused by statistical means. A China person who cares about health care falls into this 100% elaborate scam.
Therefore, from the beginning, the health of red wine may only come from a careful marketing speech.
The health care function of red wine is actually lying to you!
1. Red wine helps you sleep-but it's easy to lose sleep!
Many people think that drinking red wine before going to bed can help them sleep. Actually, this is a lie.
Previously, a study published in the journal JMIR Mental Health showed that just two glasses of wine can reduce people's sleep quality by nearly 40%.
Through the analysis of 4098 adults aged 0/8-65 in Kloc, it is found that if women drink two glasses of wine every night and men drink three glasses of wine every night, the time for people to close their eyes will be reduced by 39.2%. Moderate drinking, that is, two drinks a day for men and one drink a day for women, will also reduce the quality of sleep by 24%.
"Sleep problem, it is not a correct way to help sleep by drinking!" Professor Guo Xiheng, director of the Sleep and Breathing Center of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, was introduced in an interview with Health Times. After alcohol enters the human body, it first excites the central nervous system. With the increase of alcohol concentration, it will inhibit the central nervous system and cause drowsiness and drowsiness. Many people think that this will achieve the effect of "helping sleep". In fact, this is a manifestation of the damage to the central nervous system, which destroys the balance between excitement and inhibition of the nervous system and is harmful to people. ②
Sleep caused by drinking is completely different from normal physiological sleep. Although alcohol has a certain sedative and hypnotic effect, it lasts for a short time, and drowsiness will disappear in about 3~4 hours. After the hypnotic effect of alcohol disappears, the body will have symptoms of sympathetic excitement such as accelerated heartbeat and shortness of breath. At this time, people will easily wake up and even lose sleep. This also explains why many people wake up in the middle of the night after drinking.
In addition, people seem to be asleep after drinking, but in fact, their brains are not really resting at this time. Therefore, when they wake up after drinking, they often feel dizzy and have no spirit during the day.
2. Red wine prevents cancer-there is a risk of cancer if there is alcohol!
Drinking alcohol with any degree and capacity can't prevent cancer, but it will cause cancer.
Who has listed alcoholic beverages as a first-class carcinogen, and drinking alcohol is not recommended as a health care method. As early as 20 10, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) under WHO pointed out that drinking alcoholic beverages would increase the risk of cancers such as liver cancer, esophageal cancer and breast cancer.
In 20 18, The Lancet, a British medical journal, published many papers, arguing that any drinking behavior will bring health risks to people, and the safest drinking amount is 0. At the same time, alcohol can increase the risk of arteriosclerosis, stomach and liver damage and arrhythmia, which is confirmed and recognized. ③
In an interview with Health Times on April 19, Professor Yu Kang from the Department of Clinical Nutrition of Peking Union Medical College Hospital pointed out that there is not enough scientific evidence to support the statement that moderate drinking is good for health, and nutritionists also advocate that the best choice for health is not to drink alcohol. ④
In other words, the less you drink, the better, not to mention using red wine for health care. Not drinking is health care.
3. Red wine is antioxidant-almost equal to nothing!
Phenols in grapes, including proanthocyanidins, especially resveratrol, which is popular in red wine, are considered as effective antioxidants, which can help people keep their young faces.
Polyphenols called "antioxidants" have little effect, almost equivalent to nothing!
First of all, we rely on anthocyanins and resveratrol in red wine to resist oxidation. However, at present, the research on antioxidant of polyphenols is mostly focused on cell and animal experiments, and can not be directly deduced to people.
Even if it is effective, the amount contained in a glass of red wine is really insignificant. For example, a 68kg adult needs to drink 750- 1500 bottles of red wine every day to reach the effective dose level. Even if someone can really drink so many bottles of red wine every day, he may not be "uncle changed into fresh meat", but suffering from liver cancer.
Having said that, I have to mention a scholar named deepak Kumar Das, who has published a lot of articles about resveratrol for decades. ⑤
However, in 20 12, he was dismissed for academic fraud and his thesis was revoked. At present, the marketing articles seen on many websites may be what this scholar calls "research results".
Anti-oxidation, anti-cancer, and no research can clearly prove that it has an effect on the human body.
Finally, as for drinking red wine to lower blood sugar and soften blood vessels, these are just the wine merchants' grasp of China people's love for health. Remember, no matter what kind of wine it is, it is better to drink less!
