The French Paradox

I was watching Wine TV when this subject was mentioned- 'The French Paradox'. I didn't know about this fully but it had to do with the goodness of a glass of wine and the effects on the body. I investigated further and found out that apparently the French suffer from low coronary heart diseases which was attributed to the high red wine consumption. The French also consume more animal fat per day than the Americans and yet the latter have higher rate of death from coronary diseases .

According to research moderate drinkers of red wines are less likely to suffer from heart attack than heavy drinkers or from those who doesn't drink at all.

Personally, I turned down another glass earlier because of heartburn.. Hot food and wine are not friends at all in my opinion.

BYJ said he couldn't get drunk with a bottle..just couldn't. I wonder what's the secret. More wine I suppose.
