According to the Public Library of Science One, a substance called resveratrol (which is found in awesome things like pomegranates and red wine) is found to mimic "caloric restriction" in mice. This means exactly what it sounds like. Apparently red wine tricks your body into thinking you eat less than you actually do (especially if you eat a lot of saturated fats). According to the study, the benefits of resveratrol can be experienced from doses easily consumed by humans, as opposed to other foods that only offer benefits if consumed in mass quantities. This is yet another study proving that wine is good for you (and makes you happy). So let's start consuming. Now all we need is to figure out how to make brain cells regenerate and life would be perfect.

Anyone know what happened to the wine in the wine truck that toppled over on I-635 near DFW? Is it too late to recover a bottle of red wine or two that may have rolled off into some nearby culvert??
Long ago, my Mom got all the old-folks drinking a glass of red wine a day for their health. My Dad used to drink red wine until he was in his mid 90's.
While Mom and I preferred beer, at least my DD has taken up sipping the glass-of-red-wine-a-day-for-health-benefits.
For those that don't want red-wine, the resveratrol is available in tablet form in health food stores... but wine is cheaper. :)

Why take a tablet when you can get buzzed? I'm just saying.

There was a wine truck crash, and I was not informed?
