I haven't had the dark yet...Perhaps a side by side taste test is in order...and drink wine in between to cleanse my pallet....

Better put the crock pot on first.....

Mrs. Genoa insists that red grape juice is just as efficacious as red wine. Any advice?

I hate that argument. Drink red wine anyway. I have two glasses a night. 6 oz apiece. I am healthy as a horse. Sometimes I might sneak the whole bottle. Only on weekends.

I drink red wine to offset all the bad things I eat, drink and smoke. Its works too. Didn’t know about the chocolate thingy - maybe those Aztecs knew something. Kind of hard to die of a heart attack as an Aztec though.

Buy her some chocolates and drink your wine. By the time she's finished with the chocolates you'll be too drunk to care what she says.

From an anti-ocidant point of view she is correct, however, the medicinal benefits of thinning your blood with alcohol is a winner of a prophylatic. Thick blood equals greater chance of heart attack or stroke. So, drink up, thin your blood, and keep your groove on.

Remember, re: chocolate. It’s DARK chocolate that’s good for you (in moderation). MILK chocolate is crap.

Any word on getting drunk on Captain Morgan’s and eating a whole bag of Doritos?

It's good for what ails ya.

No. White wine is made from grapes without the skin. No benefit of antioxidants resident in the skins.

You’re in! :) It’s not too frequent; every week or so. Ping me if you see something chocolate-related that I miss.

I hope you are right. I don’t drink(I was overserved in my youth) alcohol anymore...so: other than the sugar, I think grape juice does the same thing: also, pomegranate juice.

I get a 404 error "page not found" at your link.

But I guess everybody got through as I see comments on it.

Surely nobody would comment on something they hadn't actually read./sarc

The link just worked for me. Here’s the URL: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100211/hl_afp/usitfoodcancerted_20100211172535;_ylt=Ak8LsT.LBuFoHUVNFdrfMKqs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTFkM2U4bHU4BHBvcwMxNDkEc2VjA2FjY29yZGlvbl9oZWFsdGgEc2xrA3JlZHdpbmVhbmRkYQ

Ican't find a trace of this at Yahoo and your links both give me a 404 (page not found) error.

Could you give us a working link?

Just this second tried the new link and got the same 404 error.

I'll try it on a different browser and see if that's the problem.
