A study with the aim to find whether red wine has a protective effect on the teeth has carried out by Gazzani and her colleagues, Professor of Department of Medicinal Chemistry in University of Pavia, Italy. Firstly, the researchers purchased ordinary red wine from supermarket and then did dealcoholization. The purpose of using dealcoholization wine is to discover which substances play the role, alcohol or other substances. The teeth are easily damaged by Streptococcus mutans in mouth, which survive by relying on sugar in food. Once the Streptococcus mutans affix the teeth, the surface of teeth will be carried out to the mineralization and the acid substance has the opportunity to get in, then corrosion teeth happened. From this experiment, researchers discovered that Streptococcus mutans are easy to mix with saliva and adhere to the tooth, the dealcoholization red wine can prevent the viscosity of saliva or dental bacteria.

Researchers said that the material which can block Streptococcus mutans is a compounds called proanthocyanidins. From previous study, proanthocyanidins is a kind of antioxidan which can be found in ...
... a variety of foods such as grapes, apples, cinnamon, cocoa, tea and so on. Besides, grape skin and grape seeds contain proanthocyanidins, but the researchers do not know whether grape juice has the function of protecting the teeth. "As for grape juice, we have no data now," Gazzani said, "but we believe that the finding from red wine does not apply to grape juice, because the chemical composition in grape juice and grape wine is different."

The acids and sugars in some red wine can cause tooth decay, but according to the findings of Gazzani, red wine also has the function of protecting the teeth. so it can be described as mixing merits and demerits. In addition, red wine benefits the health a lot, for example, red wine can increase brain power, boost the immune system function, prevent diabetes and obesity, anti-aging and so on. People with moderate consumption of red wine are more sensitive on thinking than those who have never had alcohol. This is because natural active ingredients in the grape skins can promote healthy blood flow to the brain. However, remember that excessive drinking may lead to high blood pressure, liver disease, infertility and so on.
