"Finally, resveratrol has made news for the 1/1 last decade or so as one of the key "antiaging" compounds in red wine and grapes. "It lowers blood pressure, blood fats, and glucose," Houston says, "and it relaxes the vascular smooth muscles." And just in case you were living on another planet for the last few decades—stop smoking. Immediately. Do it now. No excuses.

"The antioxidant—called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)—carries twice the antioxidant punch of red wine's resveratrol. EGCG is so potent in green tea because the leaves are steamed immediately after they are picked—preventing oxidation. Black and oolong tea are only about half as potent. Animal studies show that green tea inhibits tumor growth and metastasis. And in Japan, where green tea is a common beverage, the population has a lower incidence of cancer than in the US." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"In addition to these novel enzymes, duplicates of chalcone synthase have evolved into resveratrol synthases and bibenzyl synthases (Figure 7.7) (Clegg and Durbin, 2003). •C PinusA PtnusB Pinus BBS P*?us SS Apple Soybean A Soybean B Soybean C Peanut SS Peanut RS PeaC Pea B Pea A Alfalfa B Alfalfa A Alfalfa C Petunia B Ipomoea A Ipomoea C Ipomoea B Ipomoea PS Petunia J Tomato B Petunia A Tomato A Petunia D Petunia 6 Petunia F Antirrhinum Ipomoea A Ipomoea C Rice Maize Grape Grape SSA Grape SSB Carnation Gerbera B Gerbera C G erhera A Cafistephus Figure 7." - Erich Grotewold, The Science of Flavonoids (Get the book.)

"In a recent study in mammals, quercetin, genistein, and resveratrol increased PTEN lipid phosphatase activity but not protein phosphatase activity (Waite et al, 2005), suggesting that flavonoids may be more likely to affect AtPTEN lipophosphatase activity in planta. Studies in animal cell lines have shown that flavonoids alter multiple kinase and phosphatase activities (reviewed in Williams et al., 2004). Apigenin inhibits protein kinase C (PKC) and MAPK (Kuo and Yang, 1995; Huang et al., 1996)." - Erich Grotewold, The Science of Flavonoids (Get the book.)

"These cardioprotective phenols included flavonoids, resveratrol, and curcumin. A daily 25 ml dose of any type of olive oil has been shown to reduce lipid cardiovascular risk factors56 by decreasing oxidative damage on lipids, increasing HDL cholesterol levels, and improving the glutathione balance that protects against oxidative stress. Hydrogenated oils (an unsaturated oil that has been made into a saturated fat) should be avoided for cardiovascular health. Hydrogenated oil raises LDL, lowers the protective effects of HDL, and can in fact increase the incidence of heart disease." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"John Pezzuto, have uncovered new and exciting information about resveratrol. Studies have shown that resveratrol may prevent heart disease in two important ways. First, it inhibits the formation of blood clots, which can trigger both heart attack and stroke. Second, it plays a role in cholesterol metabolism, which may prevent the formation of artery-clogging plaque. What's even more exciting, however, is resveratrol's potential as cancer fighter. In one study, mice bred to develop skin cancer were given resveratrol supplements." - Earl Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D., Earl Mindell's Supplement Bible: A Comprehensive Guide to Hundreds of NEW Natural Products that Will Help You Live Longer, Look Better, Stay Heathier, ... and Much More!

"This is most likely due to the presence of an intriguing substance called resveratrol. resveratrol is an antioxidant found in many foods, but most abundandy in peanuts and red grapes. Red wine from cold climates (such as France) is a particularly good source of resveratrol. It is less concentrated in red wines from warmer climes such as California, Italy, Spain, or Portugal. Studies from the University of Illinois have shown that the number of early breast lesions and skin cancers in mice dropped dramatically when they were given high doses of resveratrol." - Ralph Moss, PhD, Antioxidants Against Cancer: How to activate your bod natural healing powers with today's most protective and immune-boosting supplements and foods (Get the book.)

"Research at Harvard Medical School and BIOMOL Research Laboratories has shown that taking the supplement resveratrol may even turn on the antiaging genes, much like a low-calorie diet. If you prefer to get this phytonutrient in whole foods, it is found in organic grapes, red wine, pine tree bark and other plants, such as Japanese knotweed (polygonum cuspidatum). Of course cooking will destroy this nutrient. Tonya Zavasta is on the cutting edge of combining eating raw with minimal calories.

"In controlled studies, resveratrol has been shown to reduce skin cancer tumors by up to 98%, to stop production of leukemia cells. In addition, it works as a Cox inhibitor, thus halting the spread of cancer throughout the body. • Grape seed extract?0 mg (84-93%) Similar to green tea, the active ingredients in grape seed extract are the proan-thocyanidins (but in a different combination and ratio). The importance of the proanthocyanidins in grape seed extract is that they are water soluble and highly bio-available." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Green tea contains anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and detoxifying properties. resveratrol from red grapes boosts our energy production and protects our cells. These are just a few examples of the thousands of phytonutrients in the plant foods that should be the foundation of our diet.

"When you eat the phytochemicals from raw foods, you can turn on the antistress, anti-aging and anti-inflammatory genes. resveratrol, a phytochemical found in red fruits and vegetables, is especially effective in turning on the antiaging genes. An important factor in the role raw foods play in prolonging our years is their enzymes. (See Chapter 10.) One is known as the "antiaging enzyme," superoxide dismutase (SOD), because it discourages the formation of chemicals known as free radicals that do serious damage to the body's cellular life." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"How Fesveratrol Works In the study above, resveratrol produced changes associated with longer life span and produced the following biologic effects: 1. Increased insulin sensitivity leading to better blood-sugar control. 2. Reduced insulinlike growth factor-1 (IGF-I) levels—a molecule related to a growth hormone that promotes cancer growth. 3. Increased AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)—a signaling system in the body that controls insulin sensitivity and can prevent diabetes. 4." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.) "This is especially true considering the fact that resveratrol really has an impact on your insulin/sugar balance, which is more effectively treated with diet, exercise, and lifesiyle changes anyway. Many vitamins and minerals and "conditionally essential" nutrients are known to control energy production and to protect and defend your mitochondria.These "antiaging" or neuroprotective supplements work because of the way they help protect and optimize mitochondrial function, both directly and indirectly." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"The neuroprotective effects were attributed to curcumin, the active ingredient in the curry spice turmeric. Like resveratrol in wine, curcumin is a polyphenol that is thought to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and even anti-amyloid properties. Previous studies in mice have shown that a diet high in curcumin appears to both lower inflammatory agents (cytokines) in the brain and significantly reduce the formation of beta-amyloid protein depositions." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"The rats fed the high doses of the resveratrol along with their high-calorie, high-fat diet had the following effects: 1. They did not gain weight and reduced the size of fat cells. 2. They didn't get prediabetes or metabolic syndrome. 3. They increased the number of energy-producing mitochondria in muscle cells. 4. It turned up their metabolic thermostat (thermogenesis) and increased fat burning in the mitochondria. 5. They increased their endurance and aerobic capacity (without exercise). 6. They maintained their cells' sensitivity to insulin, hence better blood-sugar control. 7." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"One of the phytonutrients, for example, called resveratrol, plays a very important role in activating the anti-aging genes. It is gaining growing recognition in fighting age-related diseases ranging from dementia to diabetes. On a live-food diet properly eaten, we actually eat 50 percent fewer calories as compared to a Standard American Diet (SAD), but maintain a very high level of nutrition. The reason for this is that we are consuming nutrient-dense foods, not just calorie-dense foods such as those offered in restaurants and fast-food dispensaries all over the Westernized world." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"James Howenstine, author of A Physician's Guide to Natural Health Products That Work, 20 mg of resveratrol daily provides maximal health benefits. Red wine has 0.2 mg per glass. Since drinking 100 glasses of wine would prove toxic indeed, wine is definitely not the best source of this nutrient! Phytochemicals also include flavonoids, lycopene and quercetin. To get the full spectrum of phytochemicals, you should eat from each of the colors of fruits and vegetables: green, yellow, red, orange, white and purple." - Susan E.

"One study, for example, has shown that purified resveratrol appears to lower cholesterol in rats, and grape juice contains more resveratrol than many wines. But Dr. Folts credits the anticlotting properties of quercetin or other flavonoids with the fruit's potential heart-healthy benefits. "Resveratrol didn't show platelet-inhibiting properties," he says. How Much Juice? It appears to take three times as much grape juice by volume to reap red wine's preventive effects, according to Dr. Folts. " - The Editors of Prevention Health Books, and William P.
