My ethnic background is Italian. We and my family as far back as I know have been drinking wine daily with their meals. All my family previous to me past away after 90 years of age. My dad at 95 and my mom at 92. All the relatives in Italy pass away in their 90's. They all drink wine daily, mostly red. Once in a while they would drink white with fish. So........as far as I am concerned wine is the way to go....
That 60 Minutes segment for a very long time ago still sticks in my mind. Morley Safer was the interviewer. It was the French or the Danish who drank wine daily and had lower heart attacks rates despite eating fatty foods.
And then I saw a chart that indicated the more frequently a person drank a glass or two of wine with a meal, their chances of a heart attack were lower.
In the past, I would sometimes get a headache from one glass of wine, definitely from two glasses. But now I'm able to enjoy a glass with no problems. I heard about a product called RU-21. It had been made some headlines for being listed as a hot product in Rolling Stone magazine.
That's where it got really intriguing. The company claimed RU-21 was used by the KGB to protect its agents from hangovers while drinking their marks under the table.
Well, I knew that Revici's medicine for curing alcoholism had probably been seen by Secretary General Brezhnev, and Armand Hammer had wanted to give him some.
Sure enough, the ingredients in RU-21 were much the same as Revici's alcoholism cure. That told me RU-21 would probably work. And it did. I still don't drink much wine, but every time I do, the RU-21 is part of the ritual. The RU-21 converts the actetylaldehyde into a harmless compound, thereby protecting the brain, skin, liver, etc.
Here's more interesting stuff about Revici and substance abuse:

Kelley, that product sounds interesting. I don't drink a lot, but I love my wine with dinner - I drink because I like the taste, not for the effects.
I would be happy to drink something that tasted the same, but was alcohol-free, but have yet to find this. So the RU-21 may counteract any harmful effects.
Check PubMed for "Fluoride Content of Alcoholic Beverages" June 2002
Just as in most beverages and processed foods, there is no fluorides on the label. Cooking does not cause fluorides to evaporate, but accumulate. Double your pleasure? Double your dental fluorosis and skeletal fluorosis! See: Health Effects of Ingested Fluoride, 1993, National Academy of Sciences' report for Congress. Many references, but one is on page 128. The report can be found online also, or requested from library Interlibrary Loan system.
i find it somewhat silly that people get all excited about something like this...
