(Wines&Vines) - average man would need to put back five glasses of wine per day, every day, to consume enough inorganic arsenic to run the risk of causing health problems, according to a leading expert on food and beverage toxicology. At such a rate of consumption, however, that hypothetical person would likely have several other health concerns that would be more evident than anything related to arsenic. “The health issues for this particular individual is not the arsenic in the wine,” said Dr. Carl K. Winter, a specialist in the cooperative extension of the University of California, Davis, Department of Food Science and Technology. Winter is an expert on toxic substances or organisms found in foods and beverages and provided context on the purported risks posed by arsenic and the herbicide glyphosate in the keynote speech of the national conference of the American Society for Enology and Viticulture held June 27-30 in Monterey.
