Its previously known that wine has some chemical compound that fights cancer and reduces its growth dramatically sometimes. But in Texas, researchers have discovered a new type of wine that has anti-cancer compound which proven to fights cancer cells harder than any other wine produced in any other places.

Wine has the capability to prevent normal cells from mutating to cancer cells, or stop existing cancer cells from growing and causing them to die.

The research leader Dr. Susanne Talcott said “these results could definitely be projected to all Texas wines containing similar amounts of bioactive compounds,”  ”And this will be the basis for a continued intensive study of all the health benefits of wines made in this state.” She added.

Her study, which concluded in May, showed decreased growth of colon and breast cancer cells treated with port and syrah (or shiraz) wine. It was the first such study of the health components of Texas wines, she said.

The scientific reasons behind her findings don’t exactly make easy party talk, so think of it this way: wines interact with a newly discovered class of molecules in cancer cells, called micro RNAs, a type of nucleic acid associated with chemical activities in a cell. Some of those micro RNAs are involved in causing cancer. Compounds in wine can go after these molecules like cops chasing criminals down a dark alley. Eurekalert.com

As a result of this study and other studies related to the benifits of wine, the wine consumption increased in Texas by 1.25 percent in 2007 and expected to jump to 321.5 million cases by 2012.
