Red wine counters effects of high-fat diet, scientists say

A compound found in red wine enables mice to live longer and healthier lives, and even reverses the damaging effects of a high-fat diet, scientists have found.
Resveratrol is produced by grapes and other plants, and earlier experiments have shown that it has life-prolonging qualities. Yeast and fish treated with resveratrol lived 60 per cent longer, and fruit flies and worms 30 per cent longer.

Comentário: O vinho tinto permite que alguns peixes vivam mais 60% que o normal, e ainda que alguns vermes vivam 30% mais. Além disso contraria os efeitos de uma dieta muito exagerada a nível de gorduras. De facto o “resveratrol” presente no tinto apresenta os efeitos de uma dieta com poucas calorias. Amigos, tínhamos razão: o vinho dá mesmo muita força!
