August 21 – Age Gets Better With Wine

This show will be very interesting for those of us who love wine!
My guest is Dr. Richard Baxter, author of “Age Gets Better With Wine.”

Can drinking red wine save your life? Scientific breakthroughs within the past several years suggest that it may not be an unreasonable question. Red wine s miracle molecule, resveratrol, has been proven to extend life dramatically in experimental animals, and in the short time since the first edition of Age Gets Better with Wine it has practically become a household word. But resveratrol is only one of a family of compounds called polyphenols that may hold the key to preventing Alzheimer s disease, heart disease, and everything from cancer to the common cold. With new discoveries come new controversies though; Age Gets Better with Wine explores the question of whether the benefits of healthy drinking can be put into a pill, and delves into the science behind the secret to living longer and living better with wine. Dr. Baxter is a well-known plastic surgeon in the Seattle area. He has been interested in the topic of wine and anti-aging for several years and lectured extensively on wine and health. He is a Medical Director for Healthy Aging magazine for physicians, and has published original research on resveratrol and the anti-aging properties of wine.
