Red Wine Subsidies to Replace Your Company's Health Plan

It used to be that you could enhance your health with wine. Red wine. Not white. And certainly not "white zinfandel," which sounds and tastes like "I'm infidel." But those studies limited the consumption of that red wine to 1-2 glasses per day. Good for your heart, maybe, but maybe not enough for the rest of your being.

But now, newer and better research has been published. The study, by the Harvard Medical School and the National Institute of Aging, shows that heavy doses of red wine extract lowers the rate of diabetes, liver problems and other fat-related ill effects in obese mice.

Basically, the results mean this:

Out with the old: Try to eat healthy, and drink 1-2 glasses of wine per day
In with the new: Screw the diet, and drink all the red wine you can get your hands on.



Hey, if they're doing it up at Harvard, who am I to argue?
