its high sugar content，but new research suggests a glass a day could form part of a diet.Looking at past studies，they found that while heavy drinkers do put on weight；those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight.A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says，“Light to moderate alcohol intake，especially of wine，may be more likely to protect against，rather than promote，weight gain.”The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions，particularly that current data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight.Boston Universitys Dr.Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms(生物學(xué)機(jī)制) relating alcohol to changes in body weight are not properly understood.His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk of getting conditions like diabetes(糖尿病)，which relate to increasing obesity.Some studies suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers.The group says alcohol provides calories that are quickly absorbed into the body and are not stored in fat，and that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those of other foods.They agree that future research should be directed towards assessing the roles of different types of alcoholic drinks，taking into consideration drinking patterns and including the past tendency of participants to gain weight.For now there is little evidence that consuming small to moderate amounts of alcohol on a regular basis increases ones risk of becoming obese.Whats more，a study three years ago suggested that resveratrol，a compound present in grapes and red wine，destroys fat cells.【文章大意】這是一篇健康知識類文章。文章通過研究報告告訴我們適量飲酒對人的身體健康有益。1The passage is mainly for those Awho produce wineBwho have a drinking habitCwho go on a dietDwho are eager to lose
