I just read in a recent health magazine that now they are saying that Sauvigion Blac may increase your chances of getting melanoma!!!  There is a chemical in the grape that is the culprit.   What next?!?!?!  I continue to say everything in moderation!!!  Life is too short!

@bargainsgirl-

Yikes-what next?!

Do you remmeber the name of the health magazine?

There is also a list of wines with over the accepted amount of arsenic, mostly cheap California wines that are under a class action lawsuit.

You can google the list of wines.

Yes, unless the grapes are organic, your wine is going to be full of pesticides and also added chemicals to keep it from going bad.

That's the only kind I drink. Better get back to my tequila.

I read about this last year but it's all white wine, not just sauvignon blanc.

 

You can google it and find many articles about it.  It's not as dire as simply saying white wine causes melanoma.

Oh, yikes! I have two large glasses of white wine every afternoon. Life is too short not to enjoy simple pleasures. I refuse to worry
