Re: Re: Late night glass of wine lowers FBG

[Guest guest]

I think if you only have one glass that it does not harm you much and if

you stick to your eating plan then the one glass should not matter on

most people. But I had wine and 2 servings of carb. I only get 1 or 2 a

meal ...sus

* Strange as it may seem I had a glass of White Zinfandel last

night and my BG's were about 10 points lower than any other nite this

week. Don't know if that had anything to do with it or now, but am

still going to get some red. Helen

I sometimes have mulled wine (red heated with mixed spices) i always have good

figures next day i don't have it everyday because i am not a drinker.

I do not have liver or kidney issues (which is not to say that I never

will).

My doc is usually amazed at my HDL (that's the " good " kind that's

supposed

to be >40) which runs 80-90.

>Does wine help with cholesterol?

Supposedly it does but only the red ones as the whites and blushes

retain

too much sugar and don't have the desirable effects (whatever they

are)

that are found in the grape skins (which, when left on in the

wine-making

process is what helps produce the dark red color). This is fine with

me as

I enjoy the reds and have never found a wine too dry for my tastes.

Here's just a few links re: red wine, cholesterol and health. A Google

search will produce lots more.

last night I had the red wine and my Bg's were higher than when I had the white

wine, not much but instead of 89 were 101. Go figure. Helen

Dear All,

Is it medically true that certain wines can lower BG and Chloresterol ? I never

knew this. In case it is true , which varieties are recommended ?

Regards,

Helen--

Arbor Mist makes a variety of wines. The berry one is I am told comparable

to a red wine.
