Purple grape juice, not white: I'm not sure quite what John meant.
Apparently the flavinoids in tea have similar effects, and no doubt similar 
compounds in other foods will be found to do the same thing.  I wonder if 
beet juice would do it?  It looks and tastes like it should be good for you, 
but it is a nutritional cipher except for a few calories.
