HERE’S some grape news! Women who drink a glass of white wine every day are 20 percent less likely to experience early menopause than gals who abstain, researchers say. After analyzing data from more than 100,000 women over 20 years, scientists at University of Massachusetts Amherst say a moderate amount of white wine — defined as one to one-and-a-half glasses daily — seemed to affect the timing of menopause. They also note red wine produced a 10 percent drop in early onset cases, while beer and spirits had no effect at all. Menopause typically occurs around age 51 and is marked by a drop in the hormones estrogen and progesterone. But experts warn early menopause can significantly increase women’s risk of future heart disease and weakened bones.…
