From Medical News Today, word of a major failure of peer review spanning years and 11 journals.

Researcher Who Studied Benefits Of Red Wine Falsified Data Says University

An extensive misconduct investigation that took three years to complete and produced a 60,000-page report, concludes that a researcher who has come to prominence in recent years for his investigations into the beneficial properties of resveratrol, a compound found in red wine, “is guilty of 145 counts of fabrication and falsification of data”.

In a statement published on the university’s news website on Wednesday, the University of Connecticut (UConn) Health Center said the investigation has led them to inform 11 scientific journals that had published studies conducted by Dr Dipak K. Das, a professor in the unversity’s Department of Surgery and director of its Cardiovascular Research Center.

The internal investigation, which covered seven years of work in Das’s lab, was triggered by an anonyomous allegation of “research irregularities” in 2008.

RE: "all I hear from MU is Coors Golden lager....I didn't know about the Red Wine,.. I can't handle the stuff. But some of that Zinfadel goes down smooth...."

Bad me. I have not bought a case of beer for going on a year now. The Chianti red wine in 5 liter boxes seems to provide the proper medicinal miracles required at times. As for onyx suggestions of Margaritas. Have not had one of those in perhaps forty years or so. Do both have a great day.
