Wine 'can help treat gum disease'
Chemicals in red wine can help prevent and treat gum disease, a study says.
Canadian scientists believe the polyphenols can block production of free radical molecules, high levels of which can damage gum tissue.
The research, by Quebec's Universite Laval, was presented to the American Association for Dental Research.
However, dentists warn there are other risks associated with drinking wine, and people should not think it was good for their teeth.
