It’s a ‘re-run’ of a piece about a potential drug of the future called Resveratrol. The pill is drawn from the chemistry in red wine and turns on what the drug developers call your survival gene. You could drink red wine instead but as the headline indicates, you might not survive that particular treatment. The pills contain the healthy equivalent of a thousand bottles of wine. The pill version of that could be on the market within five years.
