My thoughts on that:
French dairy is unpasteurized. Most grains are unbleached. Hydrogenated fats are almost nonexistent.
They drink shiatloads of acidic wine, which, coupled with the other ingredients, plus a healthy dose of physical activity, all combines to keep fatty deposits from collecting in arteries.
Just a theory..

You can drink 20 bottles of red wine every day for a month? I highly doubt it, regardless of how hard you try.

I drink red wine in a peculiar way.
- fill up tankard with ice
- 1/4 wine
- 3/4 ice water
Then I drink all day long, keeping cool and in a state of constant happy buzz.

If you can eat a single slice of commerial dried apricots, it probably isn't the sulfites, but instead biogenic amines causing the problems. If this is the case, you just need to find wineries that use strains of ML bacteria that are known not to produce biogenic amines. Any good winemaker will know if the strain they use does or not. Sales people will just go "WHaaaa".

I believe the ''French Paradox'' is the same as the Inuit Pardox: All-meat diet (no veggies nor fruits), no sunlight-giving Vitamin D, no antioxidant nor flavonoids, No resveratrol.
DHA and EPA For the win!

I've never done it, but I see no problem with that at all. I've always been told to drink however the fark you want as long as you enjoy it. I once knew a girl who put sugar in her wine.

Scientists have uncovered how
resveratrol
, the chemical found in grape skins, peanuts and dark chocolate, works in mice to help fight several chronic diseases.
Anyone else read that as 'reverse-a-troll'? I thought we could use some on fark.

My theory is that long term syphilis and arrogant sarcasm have some, as of yet unknown, synergistic effect.

No, they're all alcoholic and their good health and happiness are a genetic fluke.

If you're a degenerate alcoholic and can't have wine with dinner or with friends it has nothing to do with wine.
Also, don't drink the cheap sh*t, ever.

You can drink 20 bottles of red wine every day for a month? I highly doubt it, regardless of how hard you try.
Hum my ex roommate and I drank 2 kegs of beer in one month by ourselves. That is a keg each, at first we were kinda tipsy all the time but by the end of the month we were actually eating and drinking other things besides beer, and fairly sober. Then again 1/2 a gallon of beer per day for a person is a bit different than 4 gallons of wine. I don't really think its flat out impossible, but you would have to have a heavy alcohol tolerance going in, and be getting most of your calories from wine based on the volume. I know I could drink the volume one day, just not sure of day after day. The sheer amount of alcohol taken each day kind of scares me to even try on an extended time frame.

Agree with all parts except pasteurization. Pasteurization has never been shown to have any adverse nutritional issues.

Does anyone agree with me that that article was pathetic?
It says there's some health benefits and creates an entire article out of that premise, then it says the 600 bottles thing at the end, which is impossible.
I'll never get that 5 minutes back.
