Red Wine Compound Resveratrol Demonstrates Significant Health Benefits
The benefits of alcohol are all about moderation.
Low to moderate drinking, especially of red wine, appears to reduce all causes of mortality, while too much drinking causes multiple organ damage. A mini-review of recent findings on red wine's polyphenols, particularly one called resveratrol, will be published in the September issue of Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research;
"Reports on the benefits of red wine are almost two centuries old," explained the lead researcher at the School of Biomedical Sciences at The University of Queensland and corresponding author for the study. "The media developed the more recent story of the French paradox in the early 1990s. However, studies on the actions of resveratrol, one of the active non-alcoholic ingredients, were uncommon until research around 1997 showed prevention of cancers. This led to a dramatic interest in this compound."
Red wine contains a complex mixture of bioactive compounds, including flavonols, monomeric and polymeric flavanols, highly colored anthocyanins, as well as phenolic acids and the stilbene polyphenol, resveratrol. Brown said that some of these compounds, particularly resveratrol, appear to have significant health benefits.
The range of benefits is remarkable, including cancer prevention, protection of the heart and brain from damage, reducing age-related diseases such as inflammation, reversing diabetes and obesity, and many more. "It has long been a question as to how such a simple compound could have these effects but now the puzzle is becoming clearer with the discovery of the pathways, especially the sirtuins, a family of enzymes that regulate the production of cellular components by the nucleus. 'Is resveratrol the only compound with these properties?' This would seem unlikely, with similar effects reported for other components of wine and for other natural products such as curcumin. However, we know much more about resveratrol relative to these other compounds."
Here Are The Major Points of the Review:
- Resveratrol exhibits therapeutic potential for cancer chemoprevention as well as cardioprotection.
- "It sounds contradictory that a single compound can benefit the heart by preventing damage to cells, yet prevent cancer by causing cell death;
- "The most likely explanation for this, still to be rigorously proved in many organs, is that low concentrations activate survival mechanisms of cells while high concentrations turn on the in-built death signals in these cells."
- Resveratrol may aid in the prevention of age-related disorders, such as neurodegenerative diseases, inflammation, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
- "The simplest explanation is that resveratrol turns on the cell's own survival pathways, preventing damage to individual cells;
- "Further mechanisms help, including removing very reactive oxidants in the body and improving blood supply to cells."
- Low doses of resveratrol improve cell survival as a mechanism of cardio- and neuro-protection, while high doses increase cell death.
- "The key difference is probably the result of activation of the sirtuins in the nucleus"
- "Low activation reverses age-associated changes, while high activation increases the process of apoptosis or programmed cell death to remove cellular debris. Similar changes are seen with low-dose versus high-dose resveratrol: low-dose resveratrol produces cellular protection and reduces damage, while high-dose resveratrol prevents cancers."
In summary, current scientific research is starting to explain reports from the last 200 years that drinking red wine improves health. Although it is a cliché that "nature is a treasure trove of compounds, but studies with resveratrol show that this is correct. We need to understand better the vast array of compounds that exist in nature, and determine their potential benefits to health."
The researchers explain "Resveratrol is largely inactivated by the gut or liver before it reaches the blood stream, where it exerts its effects - whatever they may be - good, bad, or indifferent. Thus, most of the reseveratrol in imbibed red wine does not reach the circulation. Interestingly, absorption via the mucous membanes in the mouth can result in up to around 100 times the blood levels, if done slowly rather than simply gulping it down."

Moms Who Breast Feed Are Less Likely To Develop Heart Attacks Or Strokes
The longer women breastfeed, the lower their risk of heart attacks, strokes and cardiovascular disease, report University of Pittsburgh researchers in a study published in the May issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
Doctors have known for years that breastfeeding is important for babies' health; We now know that it is important for mothers' health as well. Since heart disease is the leading cause of death for women, it's especially important to know what we can do to protect long-term health.
According to the study, postmenopausal women who breastfed for at least one month had lower rates of diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, all known to cause heart disease. Women who had breastfed their babies for more than a year were 10 percent less likely to have had a heart attack, stroke, or developed heart disease than women who had never breastfed.
The research team found that the benefits from breastfeeding were long-term, an average of 35 years had passed since women enrolled in the study had last breastfed an infant.
The longer a mother nurses her baby, the better for both of them, they pointed out; The study provides another very good reason for workplace policies to encourage women to breastfeed their infants. The findings are based on 139,681 postmenopausal women enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative study of chronic disease, initiated in 1994.
The research was funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health's National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and the National Institute of Child Health and Development.
