UC Davis study reveals why red wine causes headaches in some people

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:30:23 GMT

(FOX40.COM) -- Scientists at the University of California, Davis, examined why some people suffer from headaches when drinking small amounts of wine as soon as 30 minutes after consumption. Researchers think that a natural compound found in fruit such as the grapes used to make red wines interferes with the proper metabolism of alcohol and can lead to a headache. The study was published in the journal Scientific Reports. UC Davis opens new student housing with 1,500 beds “When it (natural compound) gets in your bloodstream, your body converts it to a different form called quercetin glucuronide,” said wine chemist and corresponding author Andrew Waterhouse, professor emeritus with the UC Davis Department of Viticulture and Enology. “In that form, it blocks the metabolism of alcohol.”According to the UC Davis study, there are still many unknowns about the causes of red wine headaches. Clinical trials on their theory for "wine headaches" are in process at UC Davis San Fra...

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Kyler Murray spent time on the sideline working on his grip after throwing a couple of errant first-half passes.It didn’t seem to help, and with a woeful performance at home, the Arizona Cardinals may be seeing coach Jonathan Gannon’s first season at the helm slip through their clutches.Murray had his worst game since returning from a torn ACL and the rest of Cardinals were equally ineffective in an ugly 37-14 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday — their eighth loss in nine games.“When you get beat like that, nothing was good enough,” Gannon said. The Cardinals (2-10) had a built-in excuse to start Gannon’s first season with Murray still recovering from a torn ACL suffered last December. Josh Dobbs had some good moments in Murray’s place, but was mostly ineffective before being traded to Minnesota on Oct. 31.Murrays’ return the following week sparked optimism in the desert and the two-time Pro Bowler was superb in his 2023 debut...
