Re: One little pill?

Alcohol, like radiation, is bad for you in high doses, yes. However, in small doses both seem to have beneficial qualities. Many wise folks through the years have noted that moderation in all things is the key to a long and happy life. Looks like they were right.

To answer your question, the various anti-oxidants are mainly found in the skins, stems, leaves and seeds of grapes, rather than in their pulp. Grape juice makers usually filter these things out as "contaminants" before bottling, as do most white wine makers prior to fermentation. However, red wine ferments on them, and thus gets the full benefit.

For best health results, chase your dolma with red wine.
