Jobs famously didn't drink much alcohol; he was way more into exotic fruit juices and such. Where did you get the idea he did? And what's with the oddly narrow "must be the sulfates, in wine specifically". Why not tannins? Polyphenols? Organic acids? We already know alcohol contributes to a variety of cancers...what compelling evidence is there that sulfate need be involved?
- samstave 3y agoHis Sommelier. I cant go into it. (and still this is not first hand from me - just what I heard... so I accept being completely wrong) And I didnt meant to narrow - it was the more famous of what you states, and thank you. My money is on tannins, but that is just me...
- mcv 3y agoTannins? Aren't those also in tea? Could you please stop saying such scary things?
- kjs3 3y agoTannins (and sulfates) are found in all sorts of food. But it's way easier to take the intellectual shortcut and say "it's probably X", instead of "it's probably really complicated and there are a number of factors involved". Some people want simple answers, no matter how complicated the problem is, or how wrong the answer is.
