A November 3 New York Times editorial commented on recent Harvard Medical School and National Institute of Aging research which showed obese middle aged mice fed on resveratrol (a naturally occurring substance in red wine) as part of a high-fat, high-calorie diet lived as long and as well as mice who stayed thin on a standard diet. The editorial goes on to wish well the researchers but warned “many a magic potion that looked good in animals has failed when tested on humans.” Apparently, “one would need to drink hundreds of glasses of wine a day to reach the levels of resveratrol given to the mice.”
To save the lives of the mice and further human well-being, the Grumpy Vegan volunteers for the research that involves drinking “hundreds of glasses of wine a day.”
