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
