V American Heart Association WERE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE . tions," some disappointed American builders have said. They overlook the fact that American standards are low, far less, for example, than those of Canada and Ger- many. They also fail to take into consideration the special requirements in Israel which involve the ability of buildings to withstand not only earthquakes but also military action. Many of the buildings badly damaged in the Scud attacks earlier in 1991 did not even sustain direct hits, but buckled under the concussion. They were built a long time ago. Today's building code would not per- mit such construction now. Requirements must also take note of the reality that the quality of workmanship here is poor, and until a new generation of skilled workmen can be trained, the standards must be kept high. Technion's Building Research Institute is now getting in- volved in that too, we were in- formed by Professor A. Ben- tur, head of the Institute. In the first burst of housing construction in the early stages of the present mass im- migration about 9,000 units were rushed to completion without adequate controls. That has been stopped, and both materials and methods are being carefully checked. Nothing is overlooked. The 42-page document of basic in- structions covers everything from the ability of walls to take nails for pictures, to treatment of exposed wooden parts against humidity, fungi and termites, to close super- vision of exterior walls and all plumbing installation. Israel does not have all the answers, and invites builders from abroad who have new technologies to help solve its housing problems, but they should not think that because they have been successful elsewhere, they can pull the wool over the eyes of Dr. Rachel Becker in Haifa. ❑ Dark Grapes Medically Sound SIMON GOWER SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS n Israeli scientist has found that dark grapes, consumed even in modest quan- tities, can reduce the in- cidence of heart disease, cancers and other deadly diseases. Professor Joseph Kanner, head of the Chemistry and Biochemistry Unit at Israel's Agricultural Research Organization at the Volcani Center near Tel Aviv, made the discovery while leading a team of scientists in the United States when he was on sabbatical at the Davis Institute in California. Professor Kanner recounts that during his stay in America last year he was wat- ching a popular television news program about the "French paradox" — the fact that the French have a very unhealthy diet with lots of fatty meats and dairy pro- ducts, while enjoying a relatively low rate of heart disease. "The program's conclusion was absurd," he recalls. "They decided that the alcohol in the large amounts of wine that the French drink was healthy for the heart. But this was obviously untrue. The Germans and many other Europeans drink large quan- tities of alcohol, too, but their levels of heart disease are much higher than the French." Professor Kanner observed that whereas the French favorite drink is red wine, the Germans predominantly im- bibe beer and white wine. He noted that Italians and Spaniards also drink signifi- cant amounts of red wine and have relatively low levels of heart disease, although they have much healthier diets. He thus initiated an exten- sive analysis of the strains of dark grapes that go into popular French wines. Certain strains of dark red grapes were extremely rich in anti-oxidants. He found that certain strains of dark red grapes were extremely rich in anti- oxidants. Professor Kanner, an expert in the relationship between diet and the human metabolism, explains that the body contains anti-oxidants and pro-oxidants. If the balance is in favor of pro- oxidants then the body is
