let’s talk about sulfites what has more sulfites red wine or white wine now I’m

not recommending that you do wine or alcohol on the ketogenic plan but

certain people will drink some wine occasionally when they’re doing keto and

there’s been some questions about various symptoms that can occur when

they’re drinking wine so I just wanted to do a video in the various reactions

that can occur so first of all let’s talk about sulfides that is a chemical

that naturally occurs when you ferment grapes but it is also a preservative

that is added to wine as an antioxidant to slow down the process of it turning

into vinegar so if wine did not have this preservative it would eventually

just turn to alcohol certain people are sensitive to sulfites and those people

that are sensitive may experience hives and itchiness a red flushing sensation

or even feeling dizzy but it’s actually not red wine that has the most sulfites

it’s the white wine white wine has 210 parts per million red wine has 160 but

if you’re doing sweet wine that is 400 parts per million and talking about

sulfites because red wine has more tannins and tannins are a compound in

plants that act as a pesticide and so it would be in like tea leaves nuts with

the whole skin dark chocolate strawberries coffee pomegranates and if

you’re sensitive to tannins you can get headaches or even migraines so if you’re

drinking red wine and you get a headache chances are it’s the tenons or if you’re

drinking a lot of alcohol and having a hangover with it that just means that

you drank way too much now also realize that sulfites are in a lot of other

foods as well including dried fruit which basically has like ten times

amount of sulfites than wine now let’s say for example you drink wine and your

nose is stuffy that’s probably going to be the histamines because histamines

occur in fermented foods and wine is a fermented product

and if you’re intolerant to histamines you’re gonna notice more of a sinus

congestion so if you’re drinking wine and you get these symptoms hives

itchiness fleshiness dizziness that means soft lights if you get headaches

it could be tannin especially if it’s the red wine if it’s a stuffy nose it

could be an intolerance to histamines and I put several videos down below so

you can get more data on each specific issue
