New Study Says A Glass or Two of Wine a Day Can Help Clean Your Brain

New Study Says A Glass or Two of Wine a Day Can Help Clean Your Brain According to researchers from the University of Rochester, a couple of glasses of wine may actually good for you. Prolonged intake of excessive amounts of ethanol is known to have adverse effects on the central nervous system. However, in this study we have shown for the first time that low doses of alcohol are potentially beneficial to brain, namely it improves the brain’s ability to remove waste. The study was conducted on mice, giving them small doses of ethanol, equivalent to two glasses of wine. The mice who were given the ethanol were then able to flush their brains of waste products often linked to dementia and Alzheimer's. However, the study makes it clear that more research is needed to determine if humans are impacted in the same way.
