I just read a newsletter from Dr Al Sears and he talks about tests that have been made, especially with red wine.
A case study has shown that 12 - 35 grams of alcohol a day has reduced the risk for one kind of cancer to more than half. But over 48 grams a day more than tripled the risk to get cancer.
Resveratrol, that can be found in red wine, and acts like an antioxidant, is supposed to turn on our longevity genes and fight cancer too..
Studies also show that red wine can block a chemical that can cause heart disease.
Even small amounts of beer can protect the heart, as it has vitamin B6.
Still, many would like to avoid alcohol completely. I have found the Tre drink from gnld.com that has no alcohol but still has 5 - 10 times the amount of Resveratrol and lots of antioxidants. Let's see if I get younger..
What are you doing to prevent cancer and take care of your heart?

Hi, winterose I can understand that it must be difficult to find good veggies and fruit and healthy grapes but you might have some place where you can get fruit for extra price and if you have some clean place, you can pick the new leaves of dandelions. And don't forget to get into contact with planet earth - either with your bare feet or touching stones that lie on the earth. You get free antioxidants - the good electrons that our planet is loaded with! And why not walk barefoot on a beach if you can. Or just have your bare feet on the ground while sitting outdoors!
Even laughing is free and is very good for our health..

I have heard of both products and if I can afford it, I can test it some time. I am taking so many food supplements already, so I hope to manage with them for a while.. I am not using any pharmacy medicines at the moment.
