 There have been many threads with comments on HW about the benefit of drinking red wine in our fight against PC. Now out comes this recent study about red wine and T levels. I love my red wine and will not give it up. As my Dad said once "every time a rat dies in a laboratory we lose something good to eat or drink". smilewinkgrin

Any volunteers for the human study ... I hear the researchers will be supplying the wine.

I think if you read to the bottom it says that a certain level will drive down T. Quantity is a factor. devil

142,  think  an over quantity drives down the T as it dissolves your liver into mush skull devil   Now a good 25 year old single malt scotch study needs to be done I think I could name a couple of volunteers for the human study smilewinkgrin

I would suggest reading Abraham Morgentaler's book "Testosterone for Life". Most urologist are changing their attitudes about T and PC as long as the PC is contained within the gland. My uro will give T shots to PC patients as long as the PC is confined to the organ and under control for a year. I would sign up for either the red wine study, scotch study or even a martini study.

Being a non-drinker for 40 years now, at least there is a food/diet item that I wont miss.

The article states “in the meantime, enjoy your wine, but stick to a glass or two max a night”. I personally have a glass or two with dinner every night, either Merlot or Cabernet.   If someone is drinking beyond that (chugs as the article puts it) they are an alcoholic and pickling their livers anyway. This falls under moderation, same as donuts, let the old guy enjoy occasional donuts I shout!
