Red Versus White Wine as a Nutritional Aromatase Inhibitor in Premenopausal Women: A Pilot Study

摘要

BackgroundAn increased risk of breast cancer is associated with alcohol consumption; however, it is controversial whether red wine increases this risk. Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) prevent the conversion of androgens to estrogen and occur naturally in grapes, grape juice, and red, but not white wine. We tested whether red wine is a nutritional AI in premenopausal women.
