The debate that continues to rage on regarding the health effects of red wine just took a turn into the "super universe" it seems. In the new "The Red Wine Diet" book by Roger Corder, he states that red wine is good for treating just about any human ailment, from heart disease to dementia.

Corder's book is an offshoot from an article in Nature magazine last year that zeroed in on procyanidin, a 'vasoactive polyphenol' that helps reduce the risk of heart disease. But other human diseases as well?

Corder argues against the popular reasoning of the chemical resveratrol as the main component in red wine that gives healthy effects when consumed, and instead focuses in on procyanidin. His advice? Three glasses of red wine a day is good for men; for women, two glasses.
