More red wine please

May 7th, 2008 by admin

More red wine please, we’re French.  Many top name brands are selling resveratrol supplements due to the fact the French seem to be living longer and having less side effects, than other nations with similar diets.  It is thought the naturally occurinng substance resveratrol, which is found in the skin of red grapes, is responsible for neutralizing the saturated fat content present in processed foods, and high calorie diets.  Statistics show that the incidence of heart disease is actually lower as an overall percentage when compared to that of the U.S.  First it was thought that it was tannin, the substance in red wine, that was the element.  Now new research has shown that mice live 60% longer when fed with resveratrol.  Top me up please.
