“Will drinking champagne stop me getting dementia?
If you eat fruit and vegetables, you will already be getting enough phenolic acid anyway – especially if you go for mangoes, berries, apples and citrus fruits. There is some evidence, more relevant for humans than this rat study, that regular exercise, a Mediterranean diet of whole grains, fruit and vegetables, not smoking, having a normal blood pressure and avoiding boxing (or at least getting regularly punched in the head) may all reduce your risk of both loss of memory and reasoning. If you really want to justify a glass of champagne on health grounds, you can always quote physicians of the 19th century, who swore it could dissolve kidney stones, cure anaemia and keep you healthy.”
