Powder benefit

Teetotallers, who miss out the benefits of red wine need not lose heart. According to Normal Williams and his group from the Papworth Hospital near Cambridge, an alcohol-free powder of red wine is just as effective against heart disease by preventing the arteries from collecting deposits of the dangerous low density lipoprotein. Polyphenols abundant in red wine and which actually accomplish this job can do so even without their usual alcoholic accompaniment ( New Scientist , Vol 153, No 2070).
