(144) tis the season to be jolly...
Another study has confirmed what wine drinkers have known for eons! Red wine is good... no no, GREAT for us!
In a recent study, researchers reported that resveratrol, a natural substance in red wine, offsets some negative effects of a high-fat diet. This supports other studies that have shown similar benefits of red wine.
In this study, mice were fed diets with 60% of the calories from fat. These mice were also given resveratrol. They gained weight but maintained normal livers and glucose and insulin levels in the blood. They also lived longer lives.
But to get the same amount of resveratol that protected the mice, a 68kg human would need to drink 1,500 to 3,000 bottles of wine a day! Talk about manna from heaven... Jonathan and Iggy will be ecstatic!!
Cheers!
