Can wine fight cavities?

A new study shows that both red and white wine, even without the alcohol, may help fight cavities. Although it's interesting, it's really nothing to get too excited about just yet. The research was done in Italy by putting wine (with the alcohol removed) and bacteria together in test tubes to see what would happen. Both wines were effective in killing bacteria types that cause cavities and throat infections, but it seemed that red wine may have been slightly better. Researchers also did some tests on just the acids found in the wine and found that they seem to be the real reason behind the anti-bacterial properties.

Of course you shouldn't start chugging a glass of wine every night instead of brushing your teeth, but who knows what research like this might lead to!
