“Many European wines are full of metal, a study finds. And researchers say if you’re the type of person who drinks a glass of wine — either red or white – every day, you may be damaging your health, according to the study, published online this week in the Chemistry Central Journal. Biomolecular scientist Dr. Declan P. Naughton, from Kingston University in London, used a risk assessment called the target hazard quotient on wines from 16 different countries to determine which ones are the safest. The THQ formula was developed by the United States’ Environmental Protection Agency for the estimation of potential health risks associated with long-term exposure to environmental pollutants.” (10/30/08)
