Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Scientists say it's far too early to start swilling barrels of red wine.

Too late.

This isn't really a surprise considering it's been known for quite some time that red wine is actually good for you, in moderate portions.

Damn straight, VikiBabbles:

a 150-lb person would need to drink 750 to 1,500 bottles of red wine a day to get such a dose.

I have the Franzia truck making a delivery of fresh boxes of wine tomorrow. Anybody feel like getting healthy with me?

I think we're going to have to bypass formalities for now, VB, and get out the funnels and yoga mats. lol

You know people always jump to say "Hey. wine is good for you drink up!".
And that's the way it's reported. Isn't it possible the truth is merely " Hey, grapes are good for
you, eat up!"
Paragraph 13 from the Nature article: Resveratrol, produced when plants are under stress, is found in the skin of grapes and in other plants, including peanuts and some berries.
If Cowpies achieved the same results, I don't believe people would jump on the bandwagon so quickly:)

    Probably not with the cowpies. Cheeseburgers, maybe.

      Good note on the availability of Resveratrol from other sources.
