Red wine,
which is made from grapes, is an excellent source of
antioxidants known as flavonoids. As antioxidants, these
flavonoids are believed to counteract the adverse health
effects of a fatty diet and smoking. They achieve this by
neutralizing free radicals that would otherwise damage the
body and, consequently, increase the risk of disease.
Grapes are a rich source of valuable flavonoids and
polyphenols including a compound called resveratrol.
Resveratrol has beneficial cardio protective and
cancer-preventive effects.
Although resveratrol is produced in several different
plants, such as mulberries and peanuts, grapes are the most
consistent and abundant source.
Scientists believe that plants produce resveratrol in order
to protect themselves from disease. Within the grape,
resveratrol is thought to act as a protectant, guarding
against pathogenic attacks and reducing the effects of
environmental stress.
For example, resveratrol may help prevent heart disease by
inhibiting platelet aggregation (clumping) and coagulation
(thickening) while modulating cholesterol metabolism.
High potency, isolated resveratrol from grapes was tested
for its cancer-fighting abilities in a series of
experiments. The leading researcher explained resveratrol
helps keep cells from turning cancerous and inhibits the
spread of cells that already are malignant.
One of the recent studies was an 18-week investigation
involving mice that were predisposed to skin cancer. When
these mice were fed a diet supplemented with resveratrol,
the onset of cancer was significantly stunted. Resveratrol
resulted in fewer skin tumors compared to the mice who were
not exposed to this grape extract.
Human research has also demonstrated the cancer- inhibiting
properties of resveratrol. When resveratrol was combined
with human leukemia cells, not only did the production of
abnormal cells stop, but the culture of cancer cells also
amazingly transformed back to normal.
The cancer and heart disease prevention benefits of
resveratrol is very promising. Interestingly, resveratrol
also showed better anti-inflammatory effects than
well-established anti-inflammatory drugs. In animal studies,
resveratrol inhibited both the acute and the chronic phases
of inflammation.
The powerful nutritive health benefits of the natural
flavonoids and polyphenols including resveratrol found in
grape seed extract is very exciting, especially since these
compounds help the body to ward off heart disease and
cancer.
