A glass of wine a day may be good for mental health, Spanish study finds

Researchers find people who drink two to seven glasses of wine a week are less prone to depression.

The research, part of the broader Predimed report on the Mediterranean diet, followed 5,500 light to moderate drinkers of both sexes over a period of seven years and found that those who drank two to seven glasses of wine a week were less prone to depression than non-drinkers. The findings, published in BMC Medicine, remained significant even when other factors such as smoking, diet and marital status were taken into account. The results were the same for men and women
