Thanks for the great info! I think we could all obtain the benefits of this compound by simply being consistent in moderate consumption of berries, grape juice, and wine as long as we are not alcoholic. The so called French paradox mirrors somewhat those in mediterranean countries who enjoy regular moderate consumption of wine with meals, by moderate simply enjoying a nice glass or two of dark red wine and foods which are for the most part, wholesome and consist of plenty variety of fresh fruits and vegetables chosen and consume according to their seasonality. Unfortunately, for those living in industrialized countries and participating in 'the rat race' of commuter jobs that take them far from home, bad habits ensue of consuming non-self prepared foods, fast foods (more times than not some of the worst choices.) One solution for me is to regularly make enough food each evening so that I might bring a well balanced meal with me the next day-takes some planning and yes, it can be tiring , but it's worth the effort and well being provided!

There is a site that many here might like to help plan meals ahead, check out http://www.organizedhome.com (yes, I'm not always very organized, but this site has given me lots of great ideas to manage my home and time better.)
