Not that fun, really. The Daily Mail reported on a British study of how various alcohol beverages affect body fat. Here’s a rough summary:
- Beer and spirits contribute to visceral fat, or the fat around organs. Not a good fat
- Beer, no surprise, can also build up that beer belly fat. Double bad
- Red wine seems to reduce visceral fat. That’s good
- White wine appears to improve bone density, good, but doesn’t help with fat reduction like red wine does
The British National Health Service reminds us that alcohol, in general, is bad for a host of reasons and the bad probably outweighs the benefits. Less is better. Spreading out consumption is better than binge drinking. Don’t drink and drive……
Well. That was mostly depressing, wasn’t it?! But let’s look for the good. We’ll have a glass of red with a white wine chaser, please.
