So I was just watching 60 minutes and they had a company named Sirtris on. Sitris has released a study stating that one of the main components of red wine, resveratrol, has been linked to slowing the effects of aging. Resveratrol is an ingredient found in grape skins and protects the skin from bacteria and disease. Unfortunately you have to drink about 1000 bottles of red wine a day to get the amount of resveratrol needed to really slow the aging process. Lucky for us, scientists have come up with capsules that can be taken daily and are now testing them on cancer and diabetes patients.
Well, until it's our turn, we'll just have to take our medicine one sip at a time ;).
