Maybe wine isn’t that good for you after all.
THE PRINCIPAL RESEARCH LINKING ALCOHOL, PARTICULARLY RED WINE, TO GOOD HEART HEALTH DECLARED FRAUDULENT!
The University of Connecticut has begun dismissal proceedings against Dipak Das, Ph.D., the principal investigator who promoted the idea that red wine and one of its chemicals, resveratrol, were beneficial for heart health. According to investigators for the university and the U.S. Center for Research Integrity, Dr. Das fabricated the results of twenty-three papers he published from 2005-2009 demonstrating these findings. The alterations were, in every case, made to enhance red wine and resveratrol’s roles in heart health. Knowing that alcohol is a $40 billion a year industry, the next logical question is: who funded Dr. Das’ research? Makes you wonder doesn’t it?
