"Resveratrol is found in the skin of red grapes and is a constituent of red wine, but apparently not in sufficient amounts to explain the "French paradox" that the incidence of coronary heart disease is relatively low in southern France despite high dietary intake of saturated fats."

Resveratrol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's too early to point to resveratrol as the cause of the "French Paradox". There are also other alternative theories on this in the wiki. Scientifically, it may be a good theory, but we can't say it is THE answer. Just my opinion, though.

yeah.. there's something in the wine really that makes them look good....but a lot of them too are already suffering from eating disorders because of what their society dictates....

IMO, there are certain compositions of wine products that actually metabolizes fat faster than normal fat enzymes found in our body or probably not....Oh well, much of a speculation....
