Very true about red wine and or red grape juice - just happen to have

read the study recently

I just looked this up on PubMed, under the words " heart disease,

purple grape juice " . There are three studies, with the following being

the latest:

1: Adv Exp Med Biol. 2002;505:95-111. Related Articles, Links

Potential health benefits from the flavonoids in grape products on

vascular disease.

In the dog, monkey, a nd human we have shown that 5 ml/kg of red wine

or 5-10 ml/kg of purple grape juice but not orange or grapefruit juice

inhibits platelet activity, and protects against epinephrine

activation of platelets. Red wine and purple grape juice enhances

platelet and endothelial production of nitric oxide (Fitzpatrick et

al., 1993, et al., 2000). This is thought to be one of the

mechanisms whereby purple grape juice significantly improved

endothelial function in 15 patients with coronary artery disease. The

consumption of purple grape juice by the patients also offered

increased protection against LDL cholesterol oxidation, even though

all the patients were also taking another antioxidant vitamin E, 400

IU/day. The number of people and animals in these studies was small;

however, each one acted as their own control as measurements were made

in each before, and then after consumption of red wine or purple grape

juice. Thus these studies are thought to be significant. We feel that

the results of these studies are encouraging and justify further

research on larger numbers of subjects. This suggests that the

flavonoids in purple grape juice and red wine may inhibit the

initiation of atherosclerosis by one or more of the mechanisms

described above. It will take years to fully characterize the

potential benefits of daily consumption of red wine or purple grape

juice for maintaining a healthy heart. Based on the existing evidence

of antiplatelet andantioxidant benefits and improved endothelial

function from red wine and purple grape juice, it seems reasonable to

suggest that moderate amounts of red wine or purple grape juice be

included among the 5-7 daily servings of fruits and vegetables per day

as recommended by the American HeartAssociation to help reduce the

risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

These are the anthocyanadins in pigmented grapes. The resveratrol is actually

colorless though a very closely related compound. It is present in all grapes.

It is a compound produced by plants when exposed to yeasts and funguses. Red

wine is as a general rule considerably higher in resveratrol but the main factor

is that in red wines they are fermented with the skins and seeds; the main

sources of resveratrol. With white wines the skins and seeds have been removed

before fermentation. So while very high in many of these valuable compounds in

the case of non fermented grape juice we end up with lower concentrations even

with red grape juice. The number one grape for these compounds by the way is

muscadine which is a wild grape native to the eastern United States and prized

for homemade wine (Monticello has a vine that is over 200 years old which

Jefferson planted). The highest source of resveratrol and the one most commonly

used commercially is the root of polygonum cuspidea a species of corn bind weed

(knotweed). Very closely related to ho shu wu (polygonum multiflorum) which has

been prized in TCM for memory, longevity, and endocrine health. -D
