Red wine health locations found

Procyanidin levels depend on how the wine is made
Those seeking a longevity-boosting tipple should turn their attention to red wines from Sardinia and south-west France, a study concludes.
UK researchers discovered chemicals called procyanidins were responsible for red wine's well-documented heart-protecting effect.

And they found traditionally made wines from these areas had more procyanidins than wines in other parts of the world.

The research is published in the journal Nature.

There is a 19th century expression: 'A man is only as old as his arteries'

Professor Roger Corder, Queen Mary, University of London

Previous studies have revealed regular, moderate consumption of red wine is linked to a reduced risk of heart disease and lower mortality.

A class of chemicals called polyphenols, of which there are many varieties, are thought to be responsible.

Using endothelial cells (cells that line the vascular system), the researchers pinpointed polyphenols called procyanidins as those that provided the most potent protective effect.

They then tested red wines from around the world to measure their levels of procyanidins, including wines from Nuoro province in Sardinia and the Gers region of the Midi-Pyrenees in south-west France, areas famous for their population's longevity.

They discovered wines from these regions had on average between two and four times the level of procyanidin compared with wines from countries including Spain, Australia, South America and the US.

Traditionally made

Professor Roger Corder, from the William Harvey Research Institute, at Queen Mary, University of London, said: "There is a 19th Century expression: 'A man is only as old as his arteries', which can be taken to mean that those with the healthiest arteries live longer.

"So it was of great interest to us when we found both in Sardinia and in south-west France that the wines made in these in areas had higher levels of procyanidins."

The researchers believe the way that wines are made is the key.

In traditional wine making, said Professor Corder, grapes have a three to four week fermentation period, allowing for full extraction of the chemical from the skin and the seed.

Those who do enjoy a tipple should keep within the recommended levels

Cathy Ross, British Heart Foundation

Modern-style wines are only fermented for a week, resulting in little or no procyanidin.

He added that the grape was also important and the tannat, cabernet sauvignon and Nebbiolo grapes made procyanidin-rich wines.

Professor Corder said: "The traditional production methods used in Sardinia and south-western France ensure that the beneficial compounds, procyanidins, are efficiently extracted.

"This may explain the strong association between consumption of traditional tannic wines with overall wellbeing, reflected in greater longevity."

Cathy Ross, cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation (BHF), said: "While we have known for some time that a moderate amount of alcohol can help to reduce your risk of developing heart disease, we would not recommend anyone to start drinking. Those who do enjoy a tipple should keep within the recommended levels.

"There are better ways to reduce your risk. Stopping smoking, eating a healthy diet low in saturated fat and getting at least 30mins of exercise five times a week will all help your heart."

its interesting sometimes when one asks a simple question

suddenly there's a frenzy and then all is still.


i remember many years ago catching a barracuda, only
to have it quickly disappear in a feeding frenzy
of blood scented mindless barracudas and then
all was still with me left with just the a small share.

Interesting the way they've come up with the value.

Their DCF model over 10 years gives a fair value of 109p in a range of 102-117p and their NPV analysis over 20 years gives a fair value of 74.5p.

BioProgress
AiM / Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology / BPRG.L
Bridgewell Limited acts as broker and Nomad to BioProgress, and makes markets in
company's equity
airPharma acquisition, SoluPol deal & fund raising
Over the last few months, BioProgress has continued to make substantial
progress in its new business strategy. This has been further bolstered by
recent acquisition of the airPharma assets, which will contribute to
branded product strategy and to the Rx-OTC switch strategy, which
management started to pursue with the acquisitions of Dexo and Segix. This
airPharma acquisition, in conjunction with the first BioProgress enabling
technology deal for SoluPol, means that BioProgress is now expected to show
substantial profit growth over the next few years. In light of these upgrades
to our forecasts, we are revising our market valuation range to £125.5m-
£172.0m or 74.5p-102.2p per share. We therefore retain our Buy rating.
