Researchers home in on headache-causing compound in red wine – quercetin glucuronide, which inhibts the breakdown of acetaldehyde.

It’s like a sit-in but from home, and for science.

Interesting. I’d love to see a trial of n-acetyl-cysteine for preventing the problem then, since it appears to help with acetaldehyde clearance.

Odd, I seem to get more predictable headaches from certain beers, even just from drinking one. My experience agrees with the article that inexpensive wine is more likely to produce a headache, again not so much from a hangover but just from drinking a glass or two – red or white.

Isn’t quercetin also bitter? I wonder if we could filter it out and slightly improve the taste.
