Wine stops obesity's ills in mice

No surprises here. I've been doing my own private research on this for a long time, courageously using myself as a subject, and have not had a sick day in years!

A substance found in red wine protected mice from the ill effects of obesity, raising the tantalizing prospect the compound could do the same for humans and may also help people live longer, healthier lives, researchers reported yesterday.

This is a great gig for a lab rat. These rodents have had it pretty good compared to some of their compadres who are starved or shocked or fed noxious substances.
