Red wine extract extends 'thin' benefits to fat mice - Los Angeles Times

Promising new research has shown that obese mice who were given an extract from red wine called resveratrol apppeared as healthy as lean mice. Resveratrol is “found in the skin of grapes and in other plants, including peanuts and some berries.” But don’t go on a drinking spree (you’d have to drink 100 bottles of wine a day to get the same dose) or take supplements until more research is done. For now, the best thing might be to eat more grapes and berries, which we know have a lot of antioxidants.
