Drink Wine, Lose Weight, Buy Wine Stocks, Make Money

According to recent research at Washington State University, the consumption of wine can burn body fat and prevent obesity.  The study, published in the International Journey of Obesity, showed that resveratrol in the wine converts weight-gaining fat into calorie-burning fat. Of course, there have been many other studies showing the health benefits of wine, such as the prevention of Alzheimer's effects, and can help prevent diabetes.
