Scientists have found that the compound resveratrol -- found in red wine and grape skin -- slows age-related deterioration and functional decline of mice on a standard diet, but does not increase longevity when started at middle age.

Unfortunately, all of the state run liquor stores in Pennsylvania are closed today or I might go out and get some.

They sell Reversatrol in capsule form. I have a bottle of it in my cabinet. :)

I watched a decent Clint movie last night called "Blood Work". Clint is 72 and his hot latina love interest was about 30. If 72 is the new 30, then 58 would be the new teenage years. You should be carded for trying to buy wine at your age.

Chateau Neuf Du Pape ain't booze

Heard on the radio a few nights ago on “When Radio Was” an advertisement from the early 40s about how Welch’s grape juice was nutritional as well as helping people to lose weight. Of course, Welch’s supported the radio program that was playing too.

"...but does not increase longevity when started at middle age."

I'm so glad I started young.

I used to love it as a kid along with bosco and ovaltine. I tasted it again a few years ago and I almost died from sugar poisoning.

And if Two Buck Chuck won’t do it for you, try Rosenblum Vinyards Zinfandel Reserve.

It only says it doesn't work when started in middle age. Drink white wine until your sixty and then switch. It should work then. Best cheap red wine?

Little Penguin Pinot Noir --$4.99 most of the USA and they ship. In PA state owned stores, it's $8.99 and they can't ship to your home.

I would assume this means red grape juice would have the same effects?

I mix a bottle of Boone’s sangria with a bottle of grape juice in my used apple juice bottle, and drink it with my dinner. It has a somewhat tart taste but delicious.

I will stick with the Chateau Neuf du Pape, but I'll defend your right to drink your Boone's Farm and Juice with my life! Happy 4th!

[lilylangtree]

Thank you. I also wish you a happy and safe 4th. :)

"Is 58 middle age?"

Only if you plan on living to 116! :)

Good old Charles Shaw vineyards...sometimes it's good, sometimes pretty vile. Depends on the batch. Although, for $2 a bottle you can hardly lose. Personally, I am fond of a Forestville 2006 Merlot...2 bottles for $7 and definitely worth the $1.50 premium. :D
