If weasel words were actual weasels, you could make a nice fur coat from that article.

Supplements (which I take) equate to several bottles of wine a day. They mention supplements, but dance all around the issue — implying (with no research to back it up) that supplements might be dangerous.

The amounts naturally occurring in food, including red wine, may be too little to have therapeutic value. Or, it may be that this study simply wasn’t able to tease out the effects of resveratrol from a myriad of other environmental factors.

As a general rule, I put little or no trust in media reports on medical treatments. This rule has never failed me. Reporters are simply not trained (or smart enough, or honest enough) to report on medical research.

They do so well in their reports about firearms [rolls eyes].

Okay, for the rest of the day I’m gonna be having mental images of a coat fulla weasels looking at me while nibbling dark chocolate and quaffing merlot. Thanks a lot!
