A new Word of Wisdom

Red wine lowers blood pressure, but only if it is non-alcoholic. Sort of makes sense because the calories in the alcohol would counteract the benefits of the polyphenols.

Wonder where somebody would buy non-alcoholic red wine -- probably wouldn't taste great, right?

Right, it obviously needs to be judged by people who drink the regular kind of red wine.

Obviously a middle-aged LDS person who has never touched alcohol isn't going to like it since fermented beverages generally are an acquired taste.

These seem to get good reviews and aren't crazy expensive. I'm curious enough to try one some day.

Following the word of wisdom will help you lose weight.

So we upped our intake of vegetables, protein, and fruit. We laid off the chocolate and baguettes. And we went running every day in the church parking lot next door.

v16 All grain is good for the food of man...
v17 Nevertheless, wheat for man...
I would think most recipes for baguettes use wheat flour so that should be OK for WoW compliance. I'm more concerned about their protein source being flesh of beasts or fowls of the air. Unless it was a time of winter, or of cold, or of famine.

I too have a testimony that if you eat well and exercise you will lose weight and feel better. Yeah Word of Wisdom!!!

Mild barley drinks are not good for weight loss. They are good, however, and I am particularly fond of the ones that are produced in Utah.

If you drink local spirits you might be interested in a new vodka called Salt City Vodka (I mention it here as a service for 2 good friends with the patience and fortitude to open a distillery in Utah).
