Red Wine: Better Than Huang Qi?



A study on resveratrol has found that in large enough doses, the substance doubles endurance, extends life and boosts the immune system. From the New York Times story:

Though resveratrol has long been known to be a component of red wine and other foods, it is present there in only minuscule amounts, compared with the very large doses used in experiments. Dr. Sinclair dosed his mice daily with 22 milligrams of resveratrol for each kilogram of weight, and Dr. Auwerx used up to 400 milligrams. No one could drink enough red wine to obtain such doses.


To which I say: just watch me.
