“AN ingredient in red wine may help to keep older people steady on their feet, research suggests.

“After four weeks, animals fed the compound resveratrol were able to navigate a narrow beam as well as young mice.
“Without the supplement, the older mice tended to stumble.”

(Key phrases: “an ingredient” and “fed the compound.” The mice should have been saying, “Keep the compound. Where’s the wine?”)
