Now researchers at Harvard Medical School and the National Institute on Aging say that high doses of resveratrol fed to obese mice seemed to prevent problems usually seen in chubby rodents (and people), including diabetes, liver damage and premature death. But you would need more than 100 glasses of wine a day to get that much resveratrol. And even if you took it in supplement form, there's no proof it would work as well in humans as in mice...

Many of the negative effects of gluttony, such as liver damage and diabetes, were mitigated. One big consequence was not: the mice still...
