How to correctly view the relationship between white wine and health

1, white wine is equivalent to traditional Chinese medicine to blackmail!

Some time ago, there have been media reports that Professor Xu Yan of Jiangnan University and his team found that the health care function of white wine is greater than that of wine, and that a glass of white wine is equivalent to 57 flavors of Chinese medicine. However, this issue has been denied by Prof. Xu Yan himself. 2012, Prof. Xu Yan team to carry out "China's solid fermentation of liquor and wine bioactive components of comparative research". Some liquor companies began to extract the data in the paper than the value, and in the name of the research team to publicize "white wine health function than wine". "These commercial speculations are very unserious and have gone beyond the scope of academic discussions."

"The claim that 'drinking white wine is equal to taking traditional Chinese medicine' is interpreted in this way." Xu Yan research team members, Jiangnan University Brewing Science and Enzyme Technology Research Center researcher Fan Wenlai, the paper was published in a chapter of a series of test data on a Dongxiang type of white wine, this white wine is approved by the state, the country's few added Chinese herbal medicine wine, according to "a hundred herbs into the quart" inheritance process, the production of large and small quart successively. Adopted more than 130 flavors of Chinese herbs. Fan Wenlai, as an experimental operator, and his colleagues applied "normal phase chromatography tandem gas chromatography - mass spectrometry" in 2011, and detected 52 terpenoids in the wine, which was higher than that of general liquor and wine. Ridiculous is that some people move the wood, deliberately "from the wine detected 52 kinds of terpenoids", said "from the white wine detected 57 kinds of Chinese herbs", and then deduced "drink white wine is equal to take Chinese medicine "The absurd conclusion. "Green vegetables, cucumbers, tomatoes, apples can also be detected terpene compounds, can we say that eating fruits and vegetables is the same as eating Chinese herbs."

2, a correct view of the health-related components of liquor

In fact, the recent completion of the "analysis of the flavor components of the traditional Chinese famous liquor in the analysis of the functional composition" and "the composition of the Chinese famous liquor" completed by the Sword South Spring Group Component research" and "constitute the Chinese famous liquor JIANNANCHUN liquor flavor quality characteristics of the research" results, by the Sichuan Provincial Department of Science and Technology organized by experts for appraisal. The experts gave full affirmation to the Research on Analysis of Aroma Components and Functional Components in Chinese Traditional Famous Baijiu completed by Sichuan Jiannanchun Group Co., Ltd. and formed the following authoritative professional appraisal opinions:

(1) The project has established a new technology of analyzing the trace components in Baijiu by combining SBSE and GC×GCTOFMS, and detected 1870 kinds of trace components in the concentrated aromatic Baijiu, Jannanchun, for the first time. The project established a new technique for analyzing trace components of liquor by combining SBSE and GC×GCTOFMS. This technology has brought the analysis of trace flavor components of Chinese pure grain solid traditional liquor to the latest level.

(2) The project discovered for the first time in Jiannanchun liquor more than 200 functional substances closely related to human health in five categories, including limonene, limonene, acacia alkene, tetramethylpyrazine, guaiacol, eugenol, ferulic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid and other endosulfones, furans, pyrazines, terpenes and organic acids.

So from the Jiannanchun Group's research results can be seen, Jiannanchun wine does have five categories of more than 200 kinds of substances related to human health, but not that there are these substances on behalf of the white wine is beneficial to health, is the health of the magic medicine. These trace components are indeed conducive to human health, but the role of these components should not be blindly myth. In fact, Jiannanchun Chief Engineer Xu Zhancheng introduced the project's original liquor trace substance analysis and detection technology will be the Chinese liquor trace components of the analytical qualitative technology to a new height, did not emphasize the role of health substances. But it seems from other publicity reports, most of which emphasize that there are more than 200 kinds of healthy substances.

The main components of liquor are water and ethanol, which make up about 98 percent, and only about 2 percent of the trace components, of which there are thousands. Excessive consumption of ethanol can lead to cirrhosis of the liver, liver cancer, acute cholecystitis, acute pancreatitis, memory loss, hair strokes, peptic organ ulcers, cardiac steatosis, alcoholism psychosis, dizziness, headache, loss of appetite and so on. 53 degrees of white wine, for example, 53% is ethanol, and the beneficial components of white wine, even if all the trace components are beneficial, but also less than 2% of the amount, not to mention the proportion of beneficial components is relatively low.

3, moderate drinking is good for health

Chinese Nutrition Society of the daily drinking limit value of adults recommended that: men's alcohol intake does not exceed 25 grams, equivalent to 750 milliliters of beer, or 250 milliliters of wine, or 56 degrees of white wine, or 1 two, or 38 degrees of white wine, 1 two and a half; because of women's body shape and the impact of estrogen, the liver's ability to solve the problem of alcohol with the male more than a significant difference, the damage to women's health than men's. The liver is not a good source of alcohol, but it is a good source of alcohol. Wine damage to women's health is more serious than men, the daily drinking limit value set more strict, alcohol intake does not exceed 15 grams, equivalent to 450 milliliters of beer, or 150 milliliters of wine, or 38 degrees of liquor 1 two. Of course we do not follow this recommended value exactly when we drink, but we should not be too greedy.

Only under the premise of drinking in moderation, to ensure that the role of white wine on human health, this time the dose of ethanol on the human body has to promote blood circulation, prevention of cardiovascular disease, to promote digestion and so on the beneficial effects of this 2% inside some of the beneficial micro-constituents can also play a role in promoting health.
