Researchers here say that padding the diet with resveratrol, a compound in the skin of grapes and in red wine, lets mice eat a high-calorie Big Mac-style diet without suffering many of the associated ill effects -- except to get fat.
Compared with animals on the same diet without the compound, the resveratrol-fed mice gained weight but lived longer, remained healthier, and had livers, blood vessels, and muscle tissue that was similar to those seen in mice fed an ostensibly healthier diet.
So…maybe you can eat what you like and live just as long, as long as you wash it down with lots of red wine.
Life is good.

i grew up with red wine for dinner daily, almost from the moment i could tip my own glass.
then i discovered beer, and never went back. wine is ok and all, but this man was made to drink beer.
i'll keep the beer in its proper rightful place, and maybe die sooner, but happier.
btw, i linked ya!
I'm a beer guy, too, alas...red wine makes me sleepy...
Didn't realize you were blogging solo again...glad to know...favor returned...
