Take THIS or drink 40 glasses of red wine a day 🍇 Is Pterostilbene better than Resveratrol? 24:53

17h ago24:53

24:53

Next time you’re at a dinner or cocktail party, find a person sipping on a glass of red wine and say: "I heard that red wine is healthy..." And they will invariably respond, "Yeah, thanks to Resveratrol!" This is because the red wine industry has done an amazing marketing job rebranding red wine as “healthy." Unfortunately, red wine isn’t actually …

You can't put lipstick on a pig but you can wear its eyebrows and escape the law! *"Thunder" (1984) is one of those films that's so bad it's almost good. From the over-the-top acting to the bizarre plot, it's a movie that knows how to entertain, even if it's not in the way it intended. The acting is hilariously exaggerated, with characters deliveri…

Why cynicism is bad for you 58:23

Psychologist Jamil Zaki challenges that assumption. In part one of The Gray Area’s new three-part series, “…
