Study: Wine reduces risk of stroke in women
A new study finds that women who drink a low to moderate amount of alcohol are at a reduced risk of stroke.
Women who drank a glass of wine a day were 21% less likely to have a stroke, according a report in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association.
But before you fill up a second glass, the study also found that drinking more did not give women an added advantage to reducing their risk.
The study spanned more than two-decades and involved close to 84,000 women.
CNN contributed to this report.
