Fight free radicals with brandy

Added 27.12.2010


Never again feel guilty about that glass or two of brandy! A new study has found brandy contains antioxidants which destroy free radicals.

Free radicals are caused by many things including pollution, smoking, stress and an unhealthy diet. Brandy has such a high concentration of antioxidants that just 30 millilitres (one shot) gives the same antioxidant content as the daily recommended intake of vitamin C!

According to the researchers, brandy with the highest antioxidant content are the ones made from distilling red wine with a copper coil and that are later aged in oak barrels.
