I’ve heard both positives and negitives on red wine. Suppose to have antioxidents and be benefical to cholesterol (at a glass a day). And I like the taste.
Not sure if the positives outweigh negitives. I am sure it is a ton of carbs.
What are some thoughts on it? Any bodybuilder out there that use red wine or are there too many negitves?
Traditional french red wine, and similar, which is high in procyanadins is the healthiest kind of red wine and is quite different from the sweeter modern red wine sold in the supermarkets today. The carbs in 1 glass of red wine will not worry you and after reading the bookk I can’t think of any negatives for men drinking red wine who are control of their drinking habits.

I don’t know how much effect 1 glass would have but I would bet that it is too small to bother about. Drunk at the end of the day it may even increase T due to its stress lowering effect!

Yes.
Red wine, amongst other things, is a source of resveratrol.
