Red wine has often been touted as a healthier choice than white. A new study reveals if that’s true, at least when it comes to cancer — with surprising results.

Many of us have heard that red wine—packed with antioxidants—might actually protect against cancer. But a new buzz-killing study says otherwise: your merlot is no healthier than your moscato.

Research from Brown University reveals no significant difference in overall cancer risk between red and white wine. However, white wine consumption is associated with a higher risk of skin cancer due to its higher levels of acetaldehyde and the potential influence of other factors.

Epidemiologists evaluate the potential cancer-protective effects of red wine by comparing its associated cancer risks to those of white wine. Not all alcoholic beverages are perceived equally, with red wine often considered a healthier option.
