New article on resveratrol: the red wine longevity supplement

sentdev sez: "Betterhumans has issued a report about resveratrol, the compound found in red wine that is responsibile for the so-called French Paradox-the fact that the fatty food-consuming French have low levels of heart disease. Consequently, resveratrol has been touted as the first true antiaging drug. Early clinical reports show that it may have a role in decreasing insulin levels and blood pressure, increasing good cholesterol, and extending lifespans to a degree normally achieved through calorie restricted diets. But as the report points out, the jury's still out on its long term effects." Link
