As a common food, rice wine does not have cold or hot properties and can only provide the body with calories and nutrients such as carbohydrates. However, rice wine contains alcohol, which is harmful to health. Every 100 grams of rice wine contains 177.5 calories, of which 40.42 grams of carbohydrates, 3.23 grams of proteins, 0.3 grams of fats and 37.38 milligrams of potassium. It can be seen that the main nutrients of rice wine are carbohydrates, while containing a small amount of other nutrients, but it contains more alcohol. Alcohol is a class 1 carcinogen, which can cause a variety of cancers such as stomach cancer and liver cancer, as well as lead to liver damage, gastrointestinal mucosal damage, and many other health problems. Although the degree of rice wine is not as high as white wine, its alcohol content is still not to be underestimated, especially its sweeter flavor, which can mask the taste of alcohol and easily lead to excessive drinking. Therefore, ordinary people need to strictly limit their intake of rice wine. Rice wine is not recommended for pregnant women, children, the elderly or patients with underlying diseases.
