Study shows wine is not good but GREAT for your health

Good news for all the winos out there. A new study found that an extract found in wine is better for our health than we thought.

The study by the Harvard Medical School and the National Institute of Aging showed that heavy doses of red wine extract lowered the rate of diabetes, liver problems and other fat-related ill effects in obese mice.

Fat-related deaths dropped 31 percent for obese mice on the supplement, compared to untreated obese mice, and the treated mice also lived long after they should have, the study said.


I wouldn't go home and crack open that box-o-wine just yet. I see no evidence that the study's results can be applied to humans but we are on the right track.

Cheers!
