...are good for you. Main thing it does is help your body use insulin more efficiently. Insulin levels are the determining factor in how fast you age. Everyone who has lived past 100 has had one thing in common, low insulin levels. So drink up!

I thought aging had to do with oxidants also known as free radicals that destroy cells thus causing the aging process. Thats why its good to have antioxidents like in vitamins etc... Everytime you breath, you age basicaly. How does insulin affect this?

Biologists have been able to extend certain animals life-spans several times by feeding a very low calorie diet. Which in turn means low insulin levels. The ultimate factor in longevity of life is how many times your DNA can replicate. Each time replication takes place, the DNA spindle gets a bit shorter.

I got my info from some health mag. That info you posted is news to me although I did figure that at some point the dying of cells was greater then the regeneration of cells. I drink lotsa beer so I'll probably live to 100.

Suntracker has a point, but i know its even better to have 2 glasses of red whine a day.

Nilsen, its probably better to have three glasses a day. Did you know that Adolph Galland started each morning with a glass of wine and some raw eggs.

It's the Buffalo Theory. The buffalo herd can only run as fast as its slowest member. Kill off the slow one, and the herd is faster.

Beer kills off the weakest cells, so the brain that is left is on average quicker and more intellegent.

I think purple grape juice gives you the same benefit, minus the alcohol

Only 2 whines a day? In that case, a lot of people in this game are way over the recommended daily whine allowance.
