In this regard, Chen Wei, chief physician of the Clinical Nutrition Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, said: No! Red wine has no effect in preventing breast cancer!

When converted to humans, it is equivalent to a daily intake of several hundred to several thousand milligrams. However, the content of resveratrol in red wine is only 0.5-10 mg/L. If you convert it... you have to drink a hundred or eighty bottles a day to reach this dose.

In addition, the "anti-cancer activity" of resveratrol has only been demonstrated in animal experiments, and there is no high-quality evidence to date that it can play an effective anti-cancer role in humans.

In addition, the World Health Organization has emphasized that any alcoholic beverage, including wine, has no health benefits. For women, the most common cancer associated with drinking is breast cancer.
