Red Wine Scores Again -- on 60 Minutes!

60 Minutes just did a segment saying scientists have found a substance called resveratrol in red wine that slows down the aging process in mice -- and probably men. (And women.) I didn't catch the whole thing and it's not yet posted on the web site. But the gist was that the guy/company that discovered this just made a gazillion dollars selling it to a major pharmaceutical co. Unfortunately, to have the great effect that they talked about, you'd need to consume several cases a day or something. They're making a pill. Now that takes all the fun out of it! More to come on this topic. But I think we can conclude once again, red wine rocks!
