Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow
Red wine is a type of wine made from dark-colored grape varieties. The actual color of the wine can range from intense violet, typical of young wines, through to brick red for mature wines and brown for older red wines. The juice from most purple grapes is greenish-white; the red color comes from anthocyan pigments also called anthocyanins present in the skin of the grape; exceptions are the relatively uncommon teinturier varieties, which produce a red colored juice.
Much of the red-wine production process therefore involves extraction of color and flavor components from the grape skin. Red wine is often believed to be responsible for the "French paradox."This phrase refers to the observation that the French have low rates of heart disease, despite consuming a lot of saturated fat and cholesterol.
Some experts believed that red wine was the dietary agent protecting the French population from the harmful effects of these nutrients.However, new studies have shown that dietary cholesterol and saturated fat do not cause heart disease when consumed in reasonable amounts. The true reason behind the good health of the French is probably the fact that they eat more whole foods and live overall healthier lifestyles.
