Red wine slows memory loss, prevents Alzheimer's

A US researcher named Pasinetti gave mice Cabernet Sauvignon or ethanol in their drinking water for seven months. Another group of mice drank plain water. All of the animals had a genetic defect that caused them to develop amyloid plaques in their brains, the type of damage that occurs in humans with Alzheimer's disease.

The researchers then tested the animals' memory by putting them through a series of maze tests, after the animals had been alcohol-free for three days.

The wine-drinking mice learned how to escape from the maze significantly faster than those drinking alcohol-spiked water or water only.

RFLMAO Well, I have about 20 gallons of wine fermenting right now, per a friend's request after trying the stuff I made last year. Should I just give it out to absent minded people?
