DID YOU KNOW . . . (Cont'd)

Dr. Giulio Maria Pasinetti and his colleagues found that the polyphenolics in grape seed extract (which makes its way into wine and juice) fights a type of plaque which causes brain deterioration, and could reduce the risk of Alzheimer's by 30% to 50% with normal (moderate) consumption. The research was funded in part by the New York Wine & Grape Foundation, and has led to a huge government grant for further study.

SANGRIA! SANGRIA! SANGRIA!

Ingredients:

This is a really easy recipe and it's the one right here on my webpage. But, remember, this is the very basic recipe. What you should do is try a different wine and different fruit each time you make it. Just be sure to always use the juice of an orange, a lemon and half a lime blended with 1/4 cup "cheap" brandy or Triple Sec as the base. It's great with nectarines, apples, watermelon, pears or whatever fresh fruit is available. Enjoy!
