Red wine 'protects against diabetes' - and chocolate may also be good for you

Scientists have found that red wine could keep the doctors away. The findings, published in the Journal of Nutrition, say that the compounds found in herbs, berries and red wine may all protect against diabetes.
That's because they are linked to lower insulin resistance and better control of blood sugar. Both help to reduce the chance of Type 2 diabetes.
The findings have been compiled from a survey of 2,000 healthy women volunteers.
Study leader Professor Aedin Cassidy, from the University of East Anglia, said: "This is one of the first large-scale human studies to look at how these powerful bioactive compounds might reduce the risk of diabetes.
"We found that those who consumed plenty of anthocyanins and flavones had lower insulin resistance.
