How come wine companies haven gotten into that?
Red wine has lots of antioxidants. Oh, they have and long ago. The Wine Institute has been trying for years to get labels on bottles saying that drinking wine reduces the risk of heart disease. They would love to advertise wine as a health food, but those mean government agencies won’t let them. This all seems pretty complex. You’re the one who’s supposed to tell us what to eat. What’s the bottom line? Dietary advice isn’t all that complicated: Eat less, move more, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, and don’t eat too much junk food. That’s really all it takes. Oh, and enjoy your dinner, of course. Paul Rauber is a senior editor for Sierra.
