Hmmm???

This morning as I was driving home from coffee, I listened to Paul Harvey. Jr was talking about a new wonder drug something 1720. It appears to be a wonder drug for taking off weight. It even, according to the studies, increases stamina without exercise! Of course it does than in lab rats and mice, never has it been tried on people. It is an analog of revesitrol, which is found in red wine.

It will be several years still until the drug will be available to people if ever. Revesitrol is found in red wine, naturally, and this would be the real thing not an analog. So does it not make sense that I should drink a glass (or so) of this wonder drug each day? Wouldn't that make me lose weight? Wouldn't that increase my stamina? I believe I have heard that it reduces cholesterol as well.

So there must be only advantages to drinking red wine. Right? And of course, if one glass is good for you, two glasses must be twice as good, correct? If that were true, then logically, a whole bottle per day would be super better for you/me. Is that not logical?

Somehow I sense disagreement. Perhaps if I did follow the above logic and did drink a bottle, or several per day, I would become a skinny alcoholic with low cholesterol? Following this line of thinking farther, I could see that it would be possible to become a skinny alcoholic with low cholesterol who was also homeless. I am sure that the one with whom I make my home would not be entirely happy with the above scenario. That could also lead me to become homeless. So I could become homeless from drinking up my money as well as causing my wife to want me to leave. Perhaps drinking a glass of wine a day could turn out detrimental to my health rather than beneficial. Has this scenario been part of any studies?

I believe that exercise and eating correctly would also cause one to lose weight, increase stamina, and lower cholesterol. If that were a life style a wonder drug would not be necessary. (No I do not like to exercise...and eating right is subject to interpretation) So, the wonder drug already exists and it is Free! Well, it is available at no additional cost anyway.

I'll bet though, if the drug company gets it's new wonder drug approved Americans will flock to it's doors trying to get it, at whatever the cost may be. We have been conditioned to rely on pills to get healthy. We like quick and easy rather than slow and Work. We just don't want to take the time. Isn't that sad???
