DameEdna Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Dr. Oz had a guest who has written a book on places where some on the oldest people live. One of those places is Sardinia. Here is what I learned:1) they drink the local wine every day.2) they drink wine with breakfast.Dr. Oz says there is some healthful ingredient in the wine. My wife mocks me often for listening to this quack.Got a bottle of Argiolas Costera 2010. It is tasty. Hints of cherry and licorice. Feeling healthier already.Cost $11.99 a bottle at Calvert-Woodley. which fits in with another thing my wife mocks me for. My thriftiness.(But that is not what she calls it) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishinnards Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I'm not really into wine, but I love Sella and Mosca Cannonau di Sardegna and would drink it for breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMac Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 If we all drank no Cannonau or any other red wine but lived on the side of a mountain, did not own a car, walked up and down the mountain for transportation, had free health insurance, ate nothing but olive oil, fresh vegetables and fresh seafood then most of us would probably live well into our nineties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, lest anyone get the wrong impression, you are not Dame Edna's wife! A soul mate of mine, perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Riley Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 If memory serves, the reds from Sardinia (esp. Cannonau) (sp?) have the highest amounts of resveratrol of any other table wines sold in the world. That is the crux of the argument for the health benefits of drinking their wines.

jasonc Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Dr. Oz actively and regularly promotes pseudoscience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonRocks Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I'll say one thing: If it wasn't for this website, there would be certain things I'd never know. Example #1: who "Dr. Oz" is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
