yes, but in extreme moderation, 1 drink a day maybe. and i think grape juice will actually produce the same results.. so dont go and slam a case of miller high life and toast each one to a healthy heart.

The structure of polyphenols doesn't allow them to re-build a broken heart,so I'm really sorry once again mate. :cry:
