“Drinking red wine will make you live longer.”

A lot of people believe this one based on a TV story on 60 Minutes. There is a substance called resveratrol that is found in red wine and grapes and has been shown by some laboratory studies to promote longevity in mice (Bauer, 2006). But you would have to drink amounts of wine far beyond what is humanly possible in order to have any of the hypothetical effects. Studies of resveratrol on human longevity continue, but in the meantime, wine lovers will need to find a different excuse for drinking more wine.
