Hi ladiesMy husband just showed me an article about the health benefits of brandy. It claimed that brandy had been used to treat ovarian cancer. I know this sounds cooky. Has anyone got any more details or evidence?

I read that somewhere I do like the occasional snifter of cognac which is an upscale brandy

I might have to change to Brandy from my usual Rum. Perhaps it's the rum that's kept the dreaded OC away. If only. xx

I just did a little internet search and found this

lybrate.com/topic/benefits-...

I don’t know how reliable it is, but could be the source of your husband’s knowledge. I prefer a sherry myself, and wonder if it has the has the same benefits 😜

when I was a teen, with horrible monthly cramps, my mom would allow me a shot or two of blackberry brandy. It really helped. Then Advil came along. Less fun but really worked!

This made me smile!! If only!! I remember reading somewhere that chemicals in red wine killed off ovarian cancer cells in lab studies but sadly just drinking red wine isn’t a cure!! I still enjoy a glass though now and again!!

Not what you're looking for?
