Women For WineSense

If you are a wine consumer or professional in wine, there is no doubt you've been faced with questions regarding wine and health. True to our founding, Women For WineSense wants to arm you with information to make the best decisions for you. To that end, Dr. Laura Catena, a fourth-generation Argentine vintner, medical doctor and graduate of Stanford Medical School, will lead a discussion navigating the complex relationship between wine consumption and health in our next Virtual Event: As a Doctor, I've Read the Data and I still Consume Wine in Moderation, A conversation with Dr. Laura Catena Monday, September 30 Noon Central on Zoom Free for Women For WineSense Members $5 for Non-Members Register here: https://lnkd.in/gUfzMY3d Please join us for this nuanced, research-based exploration of alcohol's effects on health which advocates for informed individual decision-making and responsible drinking practices, including wine in moderation within the context of a healthy diet and lifestyle. Dr. Catena's discussion will cover the pending update of the US dietary guidelines for alcohol against the backdrop of a recent WHO statement that 'no amount of alcohol is safe,' critically examining the WHO's claim, emphasizing the importance of moderation and the cultural aspects of wine drinking, drawing on her extensive background in both medicine and winemaking. This event is a live virtual event, limited to live attendance. A recording is not guaranteed.
