Oenophiles rejoiced last week when headlines trumpeted a study suggesting that the fountain of youth flows with red wine. Scientists at Harvard Medical School and the National Institute on Aging found that mice fed a high-calorie diet along with large doses of resveratrol--a natural substance found in grape skins--lived longer than mice given no resveratrol. Many of the negative effects of gluttony, such as liver damage and diabetes, were mitigated. One big consequence was not: the mice still...
...team behind a Harvard study that some have said links good health to wine drinking are warning against toasting the news too quickly. A group of researchers from Harvard Medical School and the National Institute on Aging published a study in the online edition of Nature Wednesday which found that resveratrol, a chemical found in red wine, extended the lives of obese mice. The article elicited a wave of enthusiastic responses from medical experts and extensive coverage in national newspapers, many of whom were quick to draw a link between red wine and good health.

Mains include loin of springbok wrapped in marogo, a type of leafy vegetable, and cured bacon. There's also kingklip, an eel-like fish served with wild garlic and vegetable sosaties, a sweetly marinated kebab popular in South Africa...
