As for alcohol, I'm absolutely convinced that red wine is not only OK in moderation, but HEALTHFUL.
but am convinced that the red wine studies have more to do with the type of
personalities that are moderate red wine drinkers and NOT to any physical
benefit from ingredients (
While recently listening to Paul Harvey (I was involved with something so I didn't hear the entire story), he mentioned a study that concluded that drinking grape juice was more beneficial that drinking red wine. I wish I had heard the specifics of the story. Is anybody aware of this or similar types of published studies??
Also, CC, which DHA/EPA supplement do you prefer?

Yes, I have heard both Paul Harvey and Larry King extol the virtues of grape juice.

I know that the term "Cod liver oil" may conjure up unpleasant images, but
most of today's brands are highly purified and either almost TASTELESS or
have slight, natural flavorings added, such as lemon or mint.
I use Carlson's Cod liver oil, but Twinlab "Norwegian" also sells what I
believe to be a quality product. Use about 1 tsp per 50 pounds of body weight
per day. Once in the morning, or better still, if you can remember ... split the dose between morning and afternoon.
In addition, I think that any product made
by "The Zone" group will be good quality ... as PhD biochemist Barry Sears
overseas (or at least did, initially), most of their production methods.
He's the author of "The Zone" and I went to hear him lecture in Toronto once
... wonderful man, very sincere, knowledgeable and his specialty is how lipids
(fats) function in the body ... he also lectures on eicosanoids (fascinating hormones that have a great deal to do with diabetes). Dr. Sears was introduced to me by 72 year old Nutrition Professor, Bob Bruce, from the University of Toronto.
Lastly ... about the grape juice ... this will not sit well with many of you, but
FRUIT juice is NOT a healthy thing to consume on a regular basis (sure, have it occasionally, IF YOU MUST). Fruit juice is simply concentrated and fast acting SUGAR (carbohydrate) and has, what we refer to in endocrinology as a very high glycemic index.
Too long to explain here ... but it shoots up your insulin response ... suffice to say,
for now, that it's much better to eat the WHOLE FRUIT (or limited fruit ... more about that later), than to drink any kind of fruit juice.
I will risk alienating some of you, I suppose, but what I say is my sincere
opinion, based on very good evidence / experience.
Best to all,
C.C.
