Blood and Wine: French paradox, or the redesign of the cardiovascular system

Blood and Wine. What associations do you have cause?

Well, first of all – color, yes? Later, perhaps, something in the field of criminology. Sherlock Holmes: Watson, that it is on your sleeve – blood or claret again? Then – religious. Blood of Jesus, transubstantiation, communion, the Holy Grail, the Holy Martyr Vincent – the patron of winemakers. And what other associations? In addition to these?


Well, of course, health!

In 1992, Dr. Serge Renaud, University of Bordeaux, announced to the world of the French paradox . The French, who regularly drink red wine in moderate amounts, less than other people suffering from cardiovascular diseases. Responsible for the heals effect has been called the chemical resveratrol (resveratrol) – a natural antioxidant found in grape skin and seeds. For all fans of dry red, this association is, of course – the most beloved. Good red wine – a young healthy heart.

But, as always, it is best to get the artists’ associations.
Actually, all of the above was necessary for the seed – just to show what decanters came up with an artist from Bordeaux Etienne Meneau , inspired by the French paradox. How do you find such a glass model of the cardiovascular system?

By the way, the toy is not so simple to use, it still needs to adapt. From the top, sides and bottom “of the arteries” fluid flowing at different speeds. Not calculated – from the top as livanet! Artist warns – before experimenting with wine, train on the water.

Well, of course, you will have problems with “cleaning vessels. The body of atherosclerotic plaques and thrombi avoids using resveratrol, and you – wash with hot water and household chemistry, rinse with alcohol – borosilicate vessel walls all survive, says the author of a glass heart … It turns out, is not so practical these his wonderful decanters? Beauty continues to require sacrifice?
