I would whole heartedly agree with blueberries - they are so very very good for you. And yes Marty, they are horrendously expensive, but we found a local blueberry farm (10 mins drive away), and while they are in season, I go and pick my own. I pick enough to freeze too. So much cheaper - $9 approx for a 2l ice cream container full AND you get to eat as many as you want while you're picking them. My sons and I just loooooove doing this in summer. It's the best.

Good news on the chocolate & wine As for heart disease - the latest research points to needing to eat more animal fat and meat for a healthy heart and blood vessels. Check out articles by this doctor - Dr. Dwight Lundell. Also check out the Fathead documentary by Tom Naughton. It's funny & intersting, but has a lot of serious facts in it.

The argument for Wine benefiting you is not correct here.O(r at the very least misleading. . Even though a glass of wine may help reduce risk of heart disease, and despite this article is no way proven as fact, the harm it does in other areas such as weight gain , hypertension and strokes could outway the means of drinking. Also the same qualitys that are beneficial from wine can also be achieved by Grape juice , grapes and other such fruits , woithout the harmful side effects.
