New Scientist: Red wine researcher accused of fraud.
“Much of his work has been on resveratrol, a compound found in red wine, but in 2008 he published results showing that white wine also improves heart health in rats.” This accusation does not invalidate all benefits of red wine, since there have been other studies, but it certainly puts the kibosh on bathing your liver in red & white wine and beer for purported health effects.
Comments:
It will be interesting to see *why* he was committing fraud. Alcohol industry money? Who knows.
