Recorded Webinar: The French Paradox: New Research on Wine, Alcohol, and Heart Health

The live version of this webinar was presented on Wednesday, April 30, 2020 at 2 p.m. ET.

Red wine is healthy, right? This research continues to be complex and mixed. A term coined the “French Paradox,” discovered in the late 1980s represents the paradoxical epidemiological observation that French people experience lower incidence of coronary heart disease compared to other populations despite the fact that they regularly eat bread, rich cheeses, and consume wine. Since then, much research has come out exploring the subject of the connection between culture, food, lifestyle, and wine consumption. Is it the wine? Are there other factors? It’s important to review the most current research before guiding clients towards or away from their wine.

Ginger Hultin, MS, RDN, CSO, helps fellow dietitians wade through the oceans of research since this discovery and better understand the relationship between wine and health; current guidelines and research on saturated fat consumption; and recent research on cardiovascular disease around the world.
