According to a new study from researchers in the US and Thailand found that natural fruit combined with alcohol actually benefits your health. Moreover, Steven Daniells of http://www.nutraingredients.coml/ states that powerful antioxidants in strawberries and blackberries are enhanced when combined with ethanol. Ethanol is a type of alcohol that is found in vodka, rum, and tequila, among others.
Lead author, Dr. Korakot Chanjirakul reported this study in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture. He and his colleagues at Kasetsart University in Thailand and scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture discovered this phenomenon while testing ways on how to keep strawberries fresher, longer.
As stated in an article on Reuters.com, since the level of the antioxidants in the berries intensifies when blended with alcohol, this lowers your risk of heart disease, cancer, and neurological diseases.
While this study proves to be a fantastic excuse to have a luscious frozen daiquiri, it is still recommended to go easy on the alcohol.
Be sure to use fresh fruit only, just keep in mind that just one shot of rum has 97 calories, not to mention the affect alcohol can have on your liver and other parts of your body.
