Men with high risk for heart disease had lower blood pressure after drinking nonalcoholic red wine every day for 4 weeks, according to a new study in the American Heart Association journal Circulation Research.
Nonalcoholic red wine increased participants’ levels of nitric oxide, which helped decrease both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, researchers said. Nitric oxide is a molecule in the body that helps blood vessels relax and allows more blood to reach your heart and organs.
Researchers studied 67 men with diabetes or three or more cardiovascular risk factors, who ate a common diet plus one of the following drinks: about 10 ounces of red wine, nonalcoholic red wine, or about 3 ounces of gin. All the men tried each diet/beverage combination for 4 weeks.
The red wine and nonalcoholic wine contained equal amounts of polyphenols, an antioxidant that decreases blood pressure.
During the red wine phase, the men had very little reduction in blood pressure and there was no change while drinking gin. However, after drinking nonalcoholic red wine, blood pressure decreased by about 6 mmHg in systolic and 2 mmHg in diastolic blood pressure—possibly reducing the risk of heart disease by 14% and stroke by as much as 20%.
Researchers concluded that the alcohol in red wine weakens its ability to lower blood pressure. But polyphenols—still present after alcohol is removed from wine are likely the beneficial element in wine.

Hello Sajjad1994,
For question 3, I totally understand why option C is correct, However i also feel option D is inferable since red wine with or without alcohol does have physiological effect by lowering blood pressure.
Could you provide explanation on how to eliminate option D and also the difficulty level of each question and RC overall..
My attempt: Time taken 7.5mins with 5/6 correct
Thanks & Regards,
Vishal Jain.
