Wine and Your Health

Awhile back I wrote a post about the anti-aging benefits of a chemical found in red wine that's called Resveratrol. Well today, that lovely little compound is in the news again for medical merits, this time due to a study that's found it had a positive, weight gaining effect on animals with Multiple Sclerosis-like diseases.

While far from a cure, any sort of weight gain in this type of disease is a big deal and a major sign of a step in the right direction. So if Resveratrol is found in wine, and it has all these great health benefits - that makes red wine a borderline fountain of youth, right? Well, not exactly, but it definitely has it's upsides. Enjoy the weekend, and go have a bottle of wine - it's good for you!
