As if we don’t have enough reasons to consider wine a healthy elixir, now comes a study that shows wine increases “gut microbiota diversity.” Don’t worry, that’s good. It’s probably the same thing yogurt does for your stomach.

Published in the journal Gastroenterology — you subscribe, don’t you? — researchers with King’s College in London found that red wine provides better gut health than white wine, beer, spirits, and cider. The study was done on 918 female twins living in the United Kingdom.

This is amazing for one particular reason: 918 twins agreed to participate in a study!
