Huh? This is new research. They've long known about benefits for the heart and blood system - which is the reason, for example, it's been previously recommended for us diabetics. But not that it specifically acts to reduce sugar intolerance and so on as this research shows. This now holds out possibilities even of a direct treatment for diabetes.

Well everybody knows that about red wine.

Reach for the Rioja!

A moecule, called resveratrol, found in red grapes and red wine (I guess if you want white wine it'll need to be Champagne!) apparently counteracts the effects of an indulgent diet and lifestyle:

Excellent. It's great with dark chocolate as well. Apparently I can gorge myself and potentially live as long as museli eating misery-guts.
