I will be honest here, I have heard both what Auquila and MrsBratt have posted.
Now having the backing of the Mayo Clinic gives some heft to that argument, but the French paradox remains in my mind.
The French Paradox is that the French eat a high calorie, high fat, high cholesterol diet and have less obesity, less heart disease and less cancer than Americans.
the main difference is consumption of wine.
PS, my spell check makes MrsBrat come out Muskrat! LOL!
