Dr Michael Mosley has revealed the benefits of a certain type of alcohol, and it's good news for enthusiasts of this particular drink.
Typically, and this won't come as much of a surprise, alcoholic drinks rarely spell good news for your overall health.
That said, Dr Mosley has had his say on the properties of red wine and how the drink can improve your health.
In his podcast Just One Thing, Dr Mosley said: “To mark the end of a busy week, my wife and I are going to be doing something that should protect our hearts and give our gut bacteria a boost.
Had a chat with Steve Nolan prior to this evening’s Panorama looking at new research linking ultra processed foods and ill health. Steve is, himself, learning to cook healthy food from scratch, an essential skill if you want to reduce UPFs https://t.co/932gt2nppd

“You can probably hear the sound of a wine bottle being unscrewed.”
If, like the good doctor, you're a fan of the drink, then you’ll be pleased to know that this popular drink is the only alcohol that also offers some “compelling” health benefits.
It has been found to lower high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
These two common conditions can lay the groundwork for cardiovascular problems, ranging from heart attacks to strokes.
Fortunately, enjoying red wine - in moderation - could help bust these culprits.

The Fast 800 is designed to be followed for life
Dr Mosley's website states: "So many face the feeling of worry and dread when celebrations and long weekends are on the horizon. It can often be the moment people break away from their diet, or face the infamous “slip up”.
The Fast 800 is designed to be followed for life and with life comes events, occasions and celebrations.
"Eating Mediterranean-style meals, packed with protein, healthy fats and fibre, will ensure you stay full and nourished throughout the day."
Mediterranean meals are Mosley's speciality and something he enthusiastically promotes.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
