Wine contains a number of biologically active compounds with beneficial effects on human health.

The antibacterial action of commercial red and white wines against oral streptococci responsible for

caries development and against S. pyogenes responsible for pharyngitis was studied. Its postcontact

effect against S. mutans was also studied. Both wines displayed activity. The compounds responsible

for such activities were succinic, malic, lactic, tartaric, citric, and acetic acid. The synthetic mixtures

of the organic acids tested at the concentrations found in wine had greater antibacterial activity than

the beverages, indicating that in wine they are inhibited by other components. Wine polyphenols

displayed no activity against oral streptococci or S. pyogenes. Findings show that wine is active

against oral streptococci and S. pyogenes and suggest that it enhances oral health.

LOL! White wine too? That's what I'm drinking right now!

Excellent. Maybe insurance will cover it for me

Heehee- IVIG= IntraVenous ImmunoGallo!

[Worried_Dad]

Maybe red wine boosts red blood cells and white wine boosts white blood cells... so we all better drink a lot of both to play it safe!

 

...and what about Guinness? My wife says that'll kill anything!

[FallingApart]

That's hilarious!

 

TOday is a rare day that I don't have a tension headache from all this, so I will go open a bottle right now, too! Better keep us as healthy as can be!

wait Im in ! Im sure the insurance will cover that hey they will give you as much antipsychiotics as you want all kinds of drugs not antibiotics you can only have 10 days of those . Im sure if they can prove that red wine would make the kids shut up and do as they are told they would approve it.
