PROGRAM:

JO WADE introduced Dr.Casey Pickerill, whose topic was "The Health Benefits of Red Wine & Dark Chocolate." Dr.Casey Pickerill  He began with a complete disclosure statement, assuring us that he was not in the business of promoting wine or chocolate. And he reminded us that we can live in moderation. Treating both wine and chocolate as drugs, he proceeded to give us the active ingredients and what they are good for, the doseage and the side effects. The dose of red wine is one glass for women and two glasses for men – all related to the difference in size. One ounce of dark chocolate may be consumed two to three times a week. Be sure to read labels because the term dark chocolate is not consistant across product lines.
Thanks to BOB VERPLANK for providing the speaker and the music table with red wine colored beverage and chocolate!

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
"Poor health is not caused by something you don't have; it's caused by disturbing something that you already have. Healthy is not something that you need to get, it's something you have already if you don't disturb it."  Dean Ornish, MD, Preventive Medicine Research Institute
