WHITE wine is just as healthy for the heart as red, a new study suggests.
Rats given a tipple of Italian white wine with their meals suffered less heart attack damage than animals allowed only water or raw grain alcohol. The benefits were similar to those seen in animals fed red wine.

How do I get to volunteer for this experiment when they run out of rats?

Take it one, may become,...'rat-arsed' if one drinks too much of the "White-Wine",

Poor wee souls, them "Rats", must of wondered why they, could not tell their, 'Ar$e from their Face' while being fed the, "White"!

Never fear, there will be another study coming along shortly, "proving" precisely the opposite.

Good morning, Charles, and also to your DYW.

Now I can have variety for my nightly tipple as recommended by my endocrinologist - two or three glasses of wine per evening.

Thank God for rats - and her I am not speaking of Mushymaro from China.

I am off to get my folic acid -IFI can remember where I am going, how to get there, what I am purchasing at the chemist's, and what it is for.

Cue an article here in about 3-4 days time stating that "scientists" have now proven that ANY amount of alcohol intake causes cancer and will make you die screaming in agony---especially white wine.

It probably relaxed these critters whilst being locked up in 24in x 24in cages, hence the reduction in heart attacks from the stress. However, there's a book to be recommended on what actually passes for Wine, called 'the Great Wine Swindle' by Malcolm Gluck, published by Gibson Square.
