Reservatrol is a component of red wine which is supposed to make you live forever or something.
Don’t believe me? Ask your mother, or your great aunt, or anyone over the age of 50 in your life. Chances are they will tell you that they drink a glass of wine a night because of the magic of reservatrol.
And really, that’s all: it’s an excuse for old people to drink wine.
However, according to a recent study:
a much-maligned approach for finding res¬veratrol mimics—an essential task for confirming the antiaging mechanism—actually does work.
So they’re not crazy, it really does work.
Read on:
[t]he study was carried out by researchers with a significant financial stake in making resveratrol-like drugs, a group led by David A. Sinclair of Harvard Medical School.
I really wish we had this disclaimer everywhere: politicians, lobbyists, banks, etc. “This message was brought to you by someone who has a clear financial stake in the success of this bill/program/product/service”.
Regardless, any excuse to drink more red wine is fine by us.
