Heavy Metals Present in Wine and Red Wine

Posted by admin | Posted in | Posted on 12:01 AM

If you are a wine drinker and my life has changed after reading the published research on the benefits of red wine, the analysis by British researchers in May on a drink you can enjoy every day.

Possible hazardous levels of metal ions in wines sold in the market to find, even if you read this.

Researchers examined the concentration of metals in wines from 16 countries in Europe, South America and the Middle East and noted that there were only harmful in Argentina, Brazil and the free metal in Italy.

Professor Declan Naughton and Dr Andrea Petroczi, both of Kingston University in London was to analyze the method the US health risks of environmental protection agency associated with the assessment of exposure to pollutants.

Although no attempt to estimate the same wine, the group rather than risk their employment rate (THQ), based on data published in scientific journals.

Data on heavy metal content of U.S. produced wine is not collected, so that was a gift of wine excluded from the analysis. The objective of the risk index (THQ) is an indication of risk or more, based on established safe limits for exposure to various chemicals. Any reading below 1.0 is considered safe.

So, if you drink one or two glasses of wine a day in your life that you have no knowledge of chemicals, such as vanadium, copper and manganese, zinc, nickel, chromium and lead. In addition, approximately 30 other metal ions in wine are available, but THQ is not calculated, because the safe level of exposure to these substances is still unknown.

Disappointing that the joy of simplicity ... many of us choose red for all protective antioxidants.

Now, ask the LED ... Antioxidants are the jurisdiction of the pro-oxidant heavy metals?

A particular concern for driving neurotoxicologist Bernard Weiss, Ph.D., professor of environmental medicine at the University of Rochester in New York, is the inclusion of manganese in the list of heavy metals in wine. Not every part of the Naughton / Petroczi work shows that the substance was placed in a combined brains of Parkinson's disease.


It is preferable, a well-informed consumers. While the wine of Argentina, Brazil and Italy, such as heavy metals free, there are twelve wine producing countries have others, the chance for more metal and glass shop. Wines from Hungary and Slovakia may THQ values over 350 members. Close all traces of the remains, of wines from France, Austria, Spain, Portugal and Germany - Some of the largest wine importers in the U.S. market - prices THQ had a capacity of up to 100 on wine prices unknown in North America.

Professor Naughton proposed labeling wines with the amount of heavy metals inside, and alcohol on the label, so buyers can make an informed decision. This way they can enjoy the pleasure and benefits of red wine is not the risk of heavy metals.
