There's a long list of things that we, as a society, once thought we're safe.

Safe to consume, safe to use, safe to be around that we now know are pretty unhealthy, even deadly. Cigarettes were at one point prescribed for anxiety and toothaches.

Arsenic was considered a cure for freckled skin and children's toy sets were absolutely covered in lead paint.

Now there are things that we once thought were toxic that we now know are not like tomatoes.

Tomatoes were once blamed for everything from black magic to death or they could turn you

into a werewolf. The Latin name for tomatoes translates to wolf peach.

And it turns out that you can go swimming right after eating and that water of gum that you may have

accidentally swallowed is not going to

fester in your gut for seven years. Today on proof we tell the story of the man

behind what we're calling American blood wine. A wine once thought to be

dangerous, but is it? For decades, Ervé Garnier has been in a tete--a-tête with the French government to overturn what he calls a nonsensical

ban on his wine. From America's Test Kitchen, I'm to tell you about Naked Wines.

Ervé Garnier has always kind of been this sort of laid- non-conformist, a rebel, but not in a militant way,

more in a living-let-live sort of way.
