I just liked that it says the diet emphasizes: Drinking red wine in moderation (optional).

It made me smile thinking about what part is optional the red wine or the moderation. :drinker:

There have been other studies showing that people who drink red wine in moderation have less incidence of dementia. Actually, moderate alcohol use in general, but red wine specifically showed the least incidence.
