Drinking one glass of red wine a day slashes men’s risk of prostate cancer by around 12 per cent, new research suggests.
Yet, moderate consumption of white wine, such as Chardonnay, raises the risk of the disease by 26 per cent, a study found.
Red wine contains around 10 times more polyphenols, a type of antioxidant, than white, which may explain the findings, according to the researchers.
