Resveratrol and Trans-resveratrol Ingestion At Moderate Levels Found to Protect Against Cancer and Inflammation

The Faculty of Medicine from the Institute of Human Anatomy at the University of Milan in Milan, Italy found that resveratrol, found in grapes and red wine, enhances bacterial ingestion and is a co-factor in anti-inflammatory and cancer prevention activity. In this experiment, trans-resveratrol has been studied for its anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer qualities. In this research, resveratrol was studied for its immune system defense properties, like causing tumor cell death.  Resveratrol enhanced the cell death process of subjects exposed to a certain pathogen. Even at low concentrations, resveratrol was shown to induce cell death in this experiment. Cells that were treated with red wine resveratrol did not produce tumor properties. The natural... »View More
