Can resveratrol help you to live longer?
There's been lots of hype around the red grape ingredient, resveratrol. Much of it have been suggestive of its ability to extend healthful life. But what does medical science have to report about it? A lot! And it is encouraging. Whether it makes you live longer has not been proven in humans as yet, but has been shown helpful in yeasts, fruit flies, and mice. With all the interest generated, surely studies in higher animals and eventually humans will follow.
But what can we expect right now from eating red grapes? That was our search through the medical literature--scanning some 180 medical journals.
Grape seed, grape skin and juice were examined. One analysis discusses
the evidence favoring grape extracts as alternative medicine and concludes,
"...may be beneficial in preventing the development of chronic degenerative
diseases such as cardio-vascular disease."
