I’m more of a red wine fan-of course because of it’s benefits but I have a new favorite white wine. I tasted it at a wine store a month ago, it was crisp and smooth, not too sweet, not too dry so I bought a bottle. This wine comes from France. It’s been a little tough to find […]
In April, July and September of this year fish oil study results were released. The results claimed that fish oil wasn’t beneficial in heart health but deeper research into the study itself proved that the particular study was flawed.
