There are people who drink even a small amount of red wine. it causes headaches. Researchers have investigated why some people get headaches after drinking red wine.
Publika.az reports that according to a study published in “Scientific Reports” magazine, the reason for this is the organic substance quercetin-flavanol found in fruits and vegetables.
According to the researchers, quercetin is considered a beneficial antioxidant, but problems can arise when the body processes it together with alcohol.
“When this substance enters your bloodstream, your body converts it into another form called quercetin glucuronide,” according to study co-author Andrew Waterhouse, a wine chemist and professor emeritus in the University of California’s Department of Viticulture and Enology. In this form, it blocks the metabolism of alcohol.”
In turn, the interaction of quercetin with alcohol leads to the accumulation of a toxin called acetaldehyde in the body.
“Acetaldehyde is an irritant and inflammatory substance. According to studies, acetaldehyde can cause flushing, headache and nausea.
