TLDR
Data from Caerphilly, Wales, show that platelet aggregation, which is related to CHD, is inhibited significantly by alcohol at levels of intake associated with reduced risk of CHD.About:

Structure-antioxidant activity relationships of flavonoids and phenolic acids
TL;DR: The factors underlying the influence of the different classes of polyphenols in enhancing their resistance to oxidation are discussed and support the contention that the partition coefficients of the flavonoids as well as their rates of reaction with the relevant radicals define the antioxidant activities in the lipophilic phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant properties of phenolic compounds
TL;DR: It is now possible to establish the antioxidant activities of plant-derived flavonoids in the aqueous and lipophilic phases, and to assess the extent to which the total antioxidant potentials of wine and tea can be accounted for by the activities of individual polyphenols.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyphenols: Chemistry, Dietary Sources, Metabolism, and Nutritional Significance
TL;DR: An overview of the nutritional effects of the main groups of polyphenolic compounds, including their metabolism, effects on nutrient bioavailability, and antioxidant activity, is offered, as well as a brief description of the chemistry ofpolyphenols and their occurrence in plant foods.

Therapeutic potential of resveratrol: the in vivo evidence.
Joseph A. Baur,David A. Sinclair +1 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive and critical review of the in vivo data on resveratrol is provided, and its potential as a therapeutic for humans is considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary Intake and Bioavailability of Polyphenols
TL;DR: Both chemical and biochemical factors that affect the absorption and metabolism of polyphenols are reviewed, with particular emphasis on flavonoid glycosides.

Coronary heart disease: seven dietary factors.
T.L.V. Ulbricht,D.A.T. Southgate +1 more
TL;DR: The polyunsaturated/saturated ratio as a measure of the propensity of the diet to influence the incidence of coronary heart disease should be replaced by indices of atherogenicity and thrombogenicity.

Prospective study of alcohol consumption and risk of coronary disease in men
Eric B. Rimm,Edward Giovannucci,Walter C. Willett,Graham A. Colditz,Alberto Ascherio,Bernard Rosner,Meir J. Stampfer +6 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that the inverse relation between alcohol consumption and risk of coronary disease is causal is supported.

Factors associated with cardiac mortality in developed countries with particular reference to the consumption of wine
TL;DR: There is a strong and specific negative association between ischaemic heart-disease deaths and alcohol consumption and this is shown to be wholly attributable to wine consumption.

TL;DR: In most populations with low cholesterol levels and a low prevalence of coronary heart disease, the intake of fat is low and the fat which is ingested is derived primarily from fish and vegetable oils, and in most populations exhibiting a high serum cholesterol in men, there is also a high prevalence of heart disease.

Coffee, Alcohol and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease among Japanese Men Living in Hawaii
TL;DR: There was a strong negative association between moderate alcohol consumption and the risk of nonfatal myocardial infarction and death from coronary heart disease in a cohort of Japanese men living in Hawaii during a six-year period.
