I'm not a big fan of almonds, but could get used to them if I swtiched to the diet described above - Particulary as it refers to wine, chocolate, and garlic.

We're gonna live forever!

I already gorge on everything but the fish. Perhaps I should eat more . :-)

"wine, fish, dark chocolate, fruit, vegetables, almonds and garlic"

Do we have to eat them all together?

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, okay. Sounds good. Let's do it.

[beyond the sea]

I had garlic, almonds, red vinegar, a navel orange and pumpkin pie for lunch....... now I have a stomach ache, but I'm psyched.

[matchwood]

Damit all, I just finished two shots of Bourbon - now I gotta drink some wine? Life is so unfair.

Chocolate, wine can aid heart

So DIE, all you diabetic alcoholics! DIE! DIE! DIE!

I'm allergic to wine, so I get double helpings of chocolate!

I'm not a big fan of almonds,...

Neither am I, but they're tasty when you Cuisinart them with some sugar and other stuff to make marzipan (has the consistency of cookie dough), then you coat pieces of the marzipan in melted dark chocolate. So you've got 2 health foods in one bite!

You can find plain uncoated marzipan sold in some supermarkets, especially this time of year. Sold in little rolls like Pillsbury cookie dough. Also check local candy shops. There's a brand of German chocolate bar called "Mozart", which I think has a marzipan variety.

[Veto!]

The diet comprising wine, fish, dark chocolate, fruit, vegetables, almonds and garlic, would also increase life expectancy by more than six years in men and five years in women.

And without the wine and chocolate, it might increase it by ten years IMO. You can get antioxidants many other ways. They're found in veggies. Berries. And green tea. And peanuts. If you must have the antioxidants in red wine, you can eat grapes or take resveratrol tablets.

More on resveratrol including some cautions:
http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/DSH/resveratrol.html

"While present in other plants, such as eucalyptus, spruce, and lily, and in other foods such as mulberries and peanuts, resveratrol's most abundant natural sources are Vitis vinifera, labrusca, and muscadine grapes, which are used to make wines. It occurs in the vines, roots, seeds, and stalks, but its highest concentration is in the skin ..."

Good heavens! Never, ever peel me a grape.

YYYYYYYYYYYIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Woo hoo. I knew we were onto something. Wine, garlic, chocolate.... This diet has it all....

[tubebender]

I had to have a triple bypass in late July because I didn't eat enough chocolate but it's not going to happen unless my wife finds my stash...

"I'm not a big fan of almonds"

Interesting about the almonds. I had heard somewhere that it could be any nut. Anyone else know if this may be the case?

[G Larry]

Oh, good!
I'm short on groceries, not feeling well, and was wondering what to have for dinner.

Chocolate and wine I have.

[fortunecookie]
