Healthnotes Newswire (April 19, 2007)—If you thought that everything that tastes good is bad for you, here is good news: a new study found that drinking red wine and eating apples, strawberries, and even chocolate might prevent heart disease and postpone death.
Flavonoids are compounds found in many foods, including fruits, vegetables, legumes, grain fiber such as in bran, tea, wine, nuts, seeds, herbs, and spices. Some, but not all, studies have found that people who eat foods rich in flavonoids have a lower risk of heart disease and stroke.
