Red wine compound 'could help tooth decay and gum disease fight' - Expert Comment
A new study in the Journal of Agricultre and Food Chemistry suggests red wine contains chemicals that can help in the fight against tooth decay and gum disease. The study suggests compounds from the drink, known as polyphenols, helped fend off harmful bacteria in the mouth. But experts warned that the findings do not offer a "green light" to drink more red wine.
Dr Blessing Anonye, a Research Fellow at Warwick Medical School, thinks this new research has the potential to contribute towards treating oral disease.
