Daniel J. Voelker Releases New Article Which Solves the Sardinian Paradox

Daniel J. Voelker, the author of several ground-breaking articles, including "It Ain't So, Kid, It Just Ain't So", History's Apology to "Shoeless" Joe Jackson, Charles Comiskey and Chicago's Black Sox, and "Will The Real James Bond, Please Stand Up?", both having received international accolades, has a new and important revelation regarding the secret to longevity. 

If wine drinkers thought they knew all there was to know about the health benefits of wine, drink again!

Taking a deep dive from the lessons of the famous French paradox, Voelker makes a strong case that he has discovered the proverbial "Fountain of Youth" and it was right under our noses. 

Voelker's painstaking research has landed him on the idyllic island of Sardinia, just 120 miles from the famous Amalfi coast of Italy. There, per capita, the Sardinians have ten times the number of centenarians than in the U.S. Sardinian men live at least as long as the women, a statistic that is unheard of anywhere else in the world. 

Contrary to popular belief, the Sardinians that are responsible for this statistic live in the hilly and mountainous regions of the island and, instead of a healthy diet, enjoy a diet rich in saturated fats and high cholesterol foods by way of pork, goat, sheep, mutton, beef, Pecorino cheese, potatoes and pasta. Seafood is rarely a part of their diet and vegetables at this elevation are far and few in between. 

According to Voelker's article, the secret to the longevity of the Sardinians, especially those who live in the hilly and mountainous regions and live the longest, is the ancient and indigenous grape that is made into red wine: the Cannonau grape. The Cannonau is one of the very few grapes in the world where the juices run red from the grape prior to crush, advertising its high levels of heart-healthy compounds. 

According to Voelker's article, Cannonau wine has three times the heart-healthy compounds of other grapes like the regal Pinot Noir grape. According to Voelker's article, the polyphenols, anthocyanins and other compounds in Cannonau dramatically reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease and reduce the risk of cancer and dementia.  

Sardinians have been growing and making wine from the Cannonau grapes for three thousand years. Within the community, Cannonau is perceived to have special powers, with stories of its healing properties passing down from generation to generation. 

As Voelker concludes in his findings,

"While there might not be a single explanation for the Sardinian paradox, the clear message is that moderate consumption of wine made from the Cannonau grape (two to three times a day) has a protective effect against coronary heart disease. Amazingly, this is equally true for those Sardinians living away from the coast, in the hills and mountains, who consume meat and cheese with high levels of saturated fat and dietary cholesterol with frequency.  

"Perhaps the old adage, 'the older the vine, the better the wine,' is, indeed, true! By consuming a glass or two of Cannonau on a regular basis, along with a daily dose of Pecorino cheese and a diet rich in saturated fats and cholesterol, you, too, may reach the ripe old age of 100 or more."
