In the battle of the centenarians, it is an unequal contest. France and Britain have near identical populations, yet today 20,000 French citizens are aged 100-plus against 11,000 people in Britain.

This actually has been out for several years now so nothing new with this story but thanks for posting it anyway John as there are always people seeking answers to these type of things.

Why does this work so well?? Well a compound in Red Wine ''Reveratrol'' has the unique ability to act on the Sirt-1 Genes which have been proven to have an effect on longevity inside the cells.

Jean Calment the oldest documented person ever to live died in 1997 at 122 years old and who knows what her longevity secret was but she said since she was a young girl at 15 she always had a glass of dry Red Wine with her meals all her life......

I'd have a daily headache for a 100 plus years. Don't know what it is in red wine that produces the headache, but stopped drinking the stuff years ago.
