It’s known for polyphenols
found in grapes, which protect the body from free radicals that damage
cells. Damaged cells can lead to a host of ailments down the line as
well as aging.
Red wine has been specifically associated with cardiovascular health.
While it makes sense that this results from the protection of cells in
the body that lead to the breakdown of the cardiovascular system, a
new study published in Food Research International points to more precise benefits.'
'If polyphenols, instead of being natural constituents of food, were a drug, we wouldn't hear the end of how medicine is saving lives. Since they aren't ("...it may lead to the development of drugs...") the discovery will be kept low key until someone has figured out how to make big money out of a pharmaceutical version of the molecule that can be patented...'-Health Supreme
'In what could lead to a major advance in the treatment of prostate cancer, scientists now know exactly why polyphenols in red wine and green tea inhibit cancer growth. This new discovery, published online in The FASEB Journal, explains how antioxidants in red wine and green tea produce a combined effect to disrupt an important cell signaling pathway necessary for prostate cancer growth. This finding is important because it may lead to the development of drugs that could stop or slow cancer progression, or improve current treatments.'
