    So Big Pharma has "discovered" something that's been common knowledge for decades and will now attempt to market it in pill form.

    Red wine, like all grape products, contains antioxidants. Eat a handful of raisins every day and you'll get the same results.

    You just know SOMEBODY's gonna try to use this as an excuse in court.

    "Your honor, my client was indeed drunk at the wheel when she ran over those pedestrians, but she was only trying to extend her life through the use of red wine, as outlined here in this article..."

    Too bad that's just a legend, and he was actually looking for cassava and Spanish territorial expansion.

    From wiki:
    The first source on the Wiki article is a long PDF explaining what Ponce de Leon was doing when he found Florida.
