So, all these years we drank diet soda, only to learn now that it was making us fat! "The Texas researchers followed 474 diet soda drinkers, 65 to 74 years of age, for almost 10 years. They found that diet soda drinkers’ waists grew 70 percent more than non-drinkers. Those who drank two or more diet sodas a day saw their waist grow five times more than people who avoided the stuff entirely." http://blog.aarp.org/2012/07/10/diet-soda-zero-calories-but-still-makes-you-fat/?intcmp=outbrain&obref=obnetwork |

Pretty simple really, except that you have to say goodbye to fun foods like pizza and ice cream.

For example, here is a link to an article that gives the standard list of health benefits for red wine: http://www.foodpyramid.com/healthy-eating/health-benefits-of-red-wine-10045/ The article starts out:
"There is a saying in the Mediterranean that a glass of red wine after dinner is good for the heart. Going on this, some scientists even argue that the reason why most Mediterraneans, especially Corsicans, live a long life is that their diet is supplemented by red wine. While there is no doubt that too much of alcohol is never good for anyone, why is there then such a big hype about the health benefits of red wine? Doctors have the following to say on the matter.
