What they believed: accidental drinking, especially wine or spirits, in some conversations is regarded as socially acceptable and even heart health.
True: Many alcoholic beverages, especially cocktails, wines and liqueurs, contain hidden sugar and carbohydrates. Regular alcohol intake can also interfere with the ability of the liver to regulate blood sugar. Excessive alcohol can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, especially in combination with an unhealthy diet.
The best choice: If necessary, sometimes dry red wine may be less harmful. But for non -alcoholic alternatives, kombucha (sweet), herbal teas or foamy water with fruit slices can be refreshing and safe.
