Fat Mice Advised to Hit the Sauce

All things in moderation. In one way or another, I’ve been telling you this since I first got this blog. It’s one of my hobbyhorses.

This time, from Scientific American:

Researchers have found that resveratrol -- a molecule found in the skin of red grapes and therefore in red wine -- can prolong the life span of obese mice.

So, upshot: if you’re a fat mouse, hit the sauce.

Before you get too excited -- and run off and invest in a fancy, schmansy new corkscrew and a case of Napa’s best pinot noir from this year’s pressings, the same issue reports that “Poor people die sooner when living in higher-income neighborhoods than in poorer ones,” which sounds screwball enough, you want to question the methodology.

Like I said in one of those earlier posts, I really hope I will not die, but I know that I will. I also know that if I don't eat, I will die sooner. And if I only eat stuff that doesn't make me happy, I'll die sad. Viewed in this light, my world seems much more simple.

Bottoms Up.
