Descripción

Wine in Health and Disease Prevention addresses both the benefits and concerns associated with consumption of wine and wine components, especially related to cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological health. As the single most comprehensive volume needed to understand the effect of wine on overall health, this is an essential reference for graduate and post-graduate students and researchers studying wine science, nutrition, alcoholic beverages, and public health. Dieticians and clinicians, as well as those working in the winemaking industry, will also benefit from this invaluable resource.

This comprehensive volume offers the balanced view necessary to understand the reality of today’s findings and the potential of tomorrow's research in wine and health.

Puntos claves

  • Comprehensively covers the role of wine and wine components in overall health, including the impact on cancers and cardiovascular disease
  • Presents a holistic view from grape fermentation to the isolation and study of wine-related compounds
  • Includes coverage and comparison of the most important types of wines and their extracts
  • Offers a “one stop shop” for research in this area, compiling both foundational and cutting-edge topics into one resource
  • Includes a dictionary of key terms and a summary section within each chapter for quick reference
