Resveratrol, a polyphenol found in grapes, red wine, chocolate, and certain berries and roots, is considered to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer effects in humans and is related to longevity in some lower organisms.
Objective: To determine whether resveratrol levels achieved with diet are associated with inflammation, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and mortality in humans.
Results: Resveratrol levels achieved with a Western diet did not have a substantial influence on health status and mortality risk of the population in this study.
Red wine may not be as good for you as hoped, say scientists who have studied the drink’s ingredient that is purported to confer good health.
