Drinks with Benefits: Wine and Tea (Top Resources)

For the upcoming PBS Special “Eat and Cook Healthy!” I created four DVDs and a CD: one of the tastiest DVDs is “Drinks with Benefits: Wine and Tea”.

It was a lot of fun to write and discover, and like ChefMD’s Big Book of Culinary Medicine, I read a lot of medical, culinary and nutritional studies and analyzed them to prepare (I love research).

For the book, there were nearly 3000 studies (with 20 pages in the book); for the Wine and Tea DVD, there are about 100 sources: here are the Top 5 books in each: Amazon links for convenience.
