Highlights

•

Moderate wine consumption doesn't have adverse effects on basic metabolic markers.

•

Moderate wine consumption has not effect on soluble protein inflammatory mediators.

•

Moderate daily tsipouro consumption (ethanol) induces TNFα secretion by PBMCs.

•

Wine micro-constituents attenuate ethanol effect on cytokine secretion by PBMCs.

-----------------------------------------

This paper shows that the consumption of a fermented drink has a positive impact in relation to cytokine secretion and hence inflammation.

After hundreds of cups of tea at Scholars in UL, here it is : 
our first paper on tea cardioprotective properties 
derived from our excellent collaboration of our group 
with the group of Tassos Koidis in Queen's University in Belfast.

Thanks Stephanie and Tassos for your work on this.

Special thanks are also due to our Final Year Project (FYP) students (then) - now Food Science and Health UL graduates, Jack, Rebecca and Karen : great work, well done everyone!





Stay safe and calm, and Enjoy your Tea!
