Is it true that moderate red wine consumption lowers LDL cholesterol in adults?
Unclear. Several small trials and reviews report that moderate red wine consumption is associated with lower LDL cholesterol or improved lipid profiles, but the evidence is limited to narrow populations and short durations, and no item settles the general claim for adults.
