Fruity cocktails count as health food?
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Nutrition & Supplements
I thought April Fool's was a few weeks late when I read this story, but it's true. Researchers from the U.S. and Thailand are claiming that a fruity cocktail may count as health food. Say what?The research states that adding alcohol to fruit increases the antioxidant nutrients. While that may be the case, is increased alcohol consumption to gain enhanced antioxidants a good solution? Adding ethanol (found in rum, vodka, tequila and other spirits) boosted antioxidant nutrients in strawberries and blackberries according to the research.
Now, if we could get rid of that high-fructose corn syrup and fake coloring in most fruity drinks mixes, we'd be on to something right?

Well under my current food restrictions [liquid diet for nearly 90 days!!!] I think that might be just the variety I'm looking for.
There again 'drunk' in charge of small people in the middle of the day, might be more difficult to explain.
Cheers
