RandyR Posted April 29, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 29, 2014 Red wine has long been hailed for its potential health benefits, from slowing aging to inhibiting cancer, due to a plant compound called resveratrol. Scientists even think resveratrol may have the potential to fight fat. “Resveratrol should be a very effective anti-obesity agent. It causes your mitochondria, your cells’ fat burners, to burn faster,” said Clifton Baile, head of UGA's Obesity Initiative. But battling fat with resveratrol would likely take thousands of glasses of wine per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilvrT Posted April 30, 2014 Share #12 Posted April 30, 2014 I just read a study on this not to long ago and it said you can get the same benefits from drinking grape juice. Isn't wine made from grapes? So if we're drinking wine, aren't we drinking grape juice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
