 |
|
Boffins at Glasgow University are conducting research to see if a pint of cider a day could keep the doctor away.
English cider apples have high levels of phenolics - antioxidants that protect against strokes, heart disease and cancer. Phenolics are also key to the drink's colour and taste.
Over the coming weeks, 12 volunteers will each drink a pint of cider a day and avoid all other sources of antioxidants.
The study is part-funded by the National Association of Cider Makers.
"This could mean that drinking a glass of cider is not just tasty, but a natural way to increase phenolics in a person's diet," said study director Serena Marks.

Me thinks that i will carry out a field test when i go to Brighton at the end of the month, i will be going again to the national cider centre for a visit (and then up to bonny Scotland for a weekend ) i better have 2 pints a day though as i will only have a week so i hope to see some results by the time i come home............Phenolics??? are they like alchophenolics, if i drink too much cider i don't have to stand up and say 'my name is talisker and i am and alchophenolic' do i  ..just a thought.
