| Red wine is Pippa Williams’ favourite way to relax.
The 39 year-old from Melbourne often has a glass or two after work. She’s aware, but sceptical, of advice suggesting this amount of red wine is good for her heart.
“In this day and age you can find research to complement anything if you look hard enough” she says. “It’s common sense that habitual alcohol consumption isn’t great for your health.”
Her scepticism is right on the money: the aphorism that red wine has heart health benefits is now believed by many experts to be somewhat mythical.
