I often get questions about red wine. If you are going to drink alcohol, red wine is the best choice. It contains resveratrol, an antioxidant in red grapes that is good for the heart!

It was a day at the beach for Octo-Mom and her 1 million 14 kids.

The mom played a game of "Who Wants A Grape," which we can only assume gives her octuplets the option of eating or not eating for the day.

We're kidding. We're sure they all just wrestled each other and whoever got the bunch of grapes first wins as her favorite child.

The kids' six older brothers and sisters could be seen in the background as they sadly played on the beach playground, taking turns on the swings.

In case you were wondering what all 14 kids' names were, here you go:

Octuplets: Noah, Maliyah, Isaiah, Nariah, Makai, Josiah, Jeremiah and Jonah.

The others: Elijah Makai, Amerah Yasmeen, Joshua Jacob, Aiden, Calyssa Airelle and Caleb Kai.

Whoa. That's a lot of sunscreen.

Martha Stewart had a wildlife expert on her show.

Other than the cute capybara swimming around a big tank on her desk, the expert brought a monkey out.

Even though Martha was nice enough to leave out bananas and grapes for the monkey, the monkey wasn't too grateful.

Check out the above video to see a mischievous monkey on Martha.

But beer and liquor doesn't do shiz! Sorry, dudes!

A study analyzing the relationship between diet and bone density has found that moderate amounts of wine, such as a glass a day, can reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

Researchers came to the conclusion after studying over 1,000 pairs of British female twins in their mid-fifties, explaining:

"Moderate intakes of alcohol from wine were associated with a higher bone mineral density and the consumption of a traditional 20th-century English diet was linked with a lower bone density."

The typical "English diet" included fish and chips, baked beans, meat pies and cooked meats. Surprisingly, the researchers didn't find much evidence that our bones benefit from a diet high in fruit and vegetables either.

Although it wasn't clear how or why wine builds bone strength, previous research suggests it may be due to chemicals, called polyphenols, found in the skin of grapes.
