The moral of the story? Drink beer it tastes better and contains no resveratrol at all.

Resveratrol is what’s good for you.

Well he may have falsified data but he is right on the health benefits. /s

"Das could not immediately be reached Wednesday, and messages were left for him through the union unicorn representing him." "Dont be a wino drink mor Beer"

He’s just one of dozens, if not hundreds, of researchers pretty much getting all the same result - which is that red wine is about the healthiest drink possible for a human (with the possible exception of water). He just was lazy.

As to why it works - well, why should we be able to figure that out, we only spend $2.6T per year on medicine and employ 40,000,000 people in the field?

Single malt Scotch. Have you ever seen a wine sipping sissy manly enough to swing a Claymore? I rest my case.

“He just was lazy.”

Or regretfully unethical in his ambitiousness. I fear that this is rampant in biomedical research these days. It's not much different than blood doping etc. in the Tour de France, or steroids in baseball and football. Publish something ‘cool’ and get attention, funding, and perhaps a leadership position. Sad.

>> Das was not involved in that research.

Das ist nicht zehr gut.

“”Red, red wine
Goes to my head
Makes me forget that I
Still need her so

Red, red wine
It`s up to you
All I can do I`ve done
memories won`t go
memories won`t go

I just thought that with time
Thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong, now I find
Just one thing makes me forget

Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don`t let me be in love
It`s tearin` apart
My blue, blue heart

I just thought that with time
Thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong now I find
Just one thing makes me forget

Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don’t let me be in love

My blue, blue heart””

In his defense, he was drunk at the time.

[ColdOne]

In his defense, he was drunk at the time. LOL!

[Revolting cat!]

I wouldn’t be here today if not for fortified wine. Case closed.

I guess I'll have to throw away all of my stock of
