Pinot Noir from Oregon is the best source of resveratrol, which has been proven to extend the life span of rats by 50%. (I hope it works as well for Rays as for rats.)
I sip the wine, holding each sip in my mouth until it dissolves. Resveratrol can be absorbed through the mouth (through the cheeks and under the tongue), but if you just gulp it down, it gets destroyed by stomach acid.
More than half a glass of wine a day would do more harm than good. Excess alcohol destroys the liver. The human liver, when it’s healthy and well-nourished, is the greatest pharmaceutical factory in the world. It makes all kinds of biochemicals that improve health.

"Most of the resveratrol in imbibed red wine does not reach the circulation." Further, "Interestingly, absorption via the mucous membranes in the mouth can result in up to around 100 times the blood levels, if done slowly rather than simply gulping it down."

It is a question. Your "answer" is not an answer. Legitimate Answerers can respond with other ideas on the best sources for reserveratrol, or with arguments against reservertrol.
This is not an advertisement. I’m not selling anything. I’m sharing information about improving health through alternate medicine. My motivation is that healthier people will mean lower Medicare taxes for me when I’m 106 and still working as a biochemist. (I plan to go back to college to study biochemistry when I retire at age 62 in 2012.)
To paraphrase Hamlet:

Come, come, you [question] with an idle tongue.
Ray
Go, go, you [answer] with a wicked tongue.
