This article at NPR states that cells left behind from a newborn baby might help the mother. They state that the baby’s cells may linger in the mom’s body for decades and may help repair damage when she gets sick. However, they have not reached any decivise evidence if the baby’s cells help, hurt, or do nothing for the mother.

Also, this article at Scientific American states that a compound in grapes prolongs the life of fish. By lacing the fishes food with resveratrol, their longevitity was extended by more than 50%. The compound is concentrated in red wines, such as pinot noir.
