The inhalation of smoke, especially from cigarettes, is a leading cause of lung cancer. But new research on lung cells in a lab shows a glass or two of red wine may help prevent the disease.

In 2009, the American Cancer Society recorded 219,440 new cases of lung cancer and 159,390 deaths from the disease, making it the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women. A team of researchers from the University of California at Merced has focused their attention on resveratrol, to see if its properties as an antioxidant may prevent lung cancer development.
