Wine doesn't make women fat, report claims

Researchers found that regular moderate female drinkers were less likely to become obese after a 13 year study of more than 19,000 women.

The finding seems to contradict received dietary wisdom which has it that alcohol consumption leads to weight gain.

I love it when you find another study that flies in the face...

That is because wine keeps you from running to the chocolate because of stress. LOL and it helps make a person want to shop, so you get the exercise in at the same time.

It was a nice article Don Giovanni thanks for sharing.

And what CKatCook say is right. So when people go to shop the wine they give exercise to their body which burns their calories and prevents them from putting weight.

Wine shopping as an Olympic sport? I think it's carrying all those cases into the house that burns the most calories...

If wine shopping is an Olympic sport then I would get maybe a bronze, I have not been too excited about wine this summer for some reason.
