I plan to drink lots of champagne to improve my health and memory. Scientific studies tell me I should. One indicated that the fizzy stuff is good for my heart. Now studies are showing it can be good for my spatial memory and maybe even keep dementia and Alzheimer’s away. Testing has been done on (happy) rats, whose performance increased with the amount of champagne they were given. Their performance increased even more after being on the bubbly for six weeks.
Yes, the test-subjects were just rats. Researchers are thinking about humans, though. For example, they’ve figured out that a human would have to drink the stuff regularly for three years in order to reap the full benefits. There’s still much to be learned. All I know is that I’m submitting my name to volunteer for the human trials. I figure, if it works on humans I get to celebrate; if it doesn’t work, I’ve already celebrated.
