Morley Safer found, in 1991, that the French may have lower rates of heart attacks because their diet is high in cheese and wine.

But the fact that every human will eventually die does not change the fact that, if people want to live longer (not forever, but longer), they would do well to consume a glass of wine every day. Not that it is the only way to avoid disease and short-term death; there are many other foods one can eat or not eat to improve their health, and not everyone likes wine. But for those who do enjoy a nice glass of Pinot Noir once in a while, consuming a glass a day can help them be healthier.; Reply to this comment

THE PEOPLE WILL STILL DIE...of nothing...their organs will be beatiful and disease free...but, they will still be dead. Oh well, where is logic in the face of improving overall health in the human population?
