Red Wine Makes You Invincible

More good news for wine lovers: The NY Times reports that red wine may be even more potent than previously thought in extending human lifespan. The report is based on a study that involves dosing mice with resveratrol, an ingredient found in some red wines. According to the Times, "Some scientists are already taking resveratrol in capsule form, but others believe it is far too early to take the drug, especially using wine as its source, until there is better data on its safety and effectiveness."


Safety shmafety. Bring on the pills.

Pills? I will continue to get my resveratrol in liquid form. My research has shown that one to one and a half bottles of a Napa Cab will increase your daily health and double your lifespan.

Who is that incredible man in the picture? I think we can all safely assume he is going to be living a long, long time. Assuming someone has taken his car keys from him.

Judging by the facial hair and the size of his glass, I'm guessing he's a hobbit. They have two breakfasts. What a life.
