| The first 10% of the full text of this article appears below. |
Newspapers and magazines regularly contain headlines about studies that show that average consumption of wine, beer, and spirits mayor may notconvey health benefits. Results from ongoing studies have been mixed, but in the case of red wine, one key constituent found in high concentrations in grapes and grape skins may prove to be an ally in cancer prevention and treatment.
Resveratrol, an antioxidant and antifungal, is sold over the counter in the
United States as a nutritional supplement and is found in raspberries,
blueberries, peanuts, and some pine trees. It is one of a number of naturally
occurring polyphenols that are under investigation for their potential
antioxidant and anticancer properties.
