Can you imagine what fun eating would be if this works, she said opening a BIG bottle of RED wine...lolNews reports this month of two studies that found resveratrol can make fat mice live longer, reduce their heart disease and increase their stamina have created excitement among those who hope that a pill to let you have it all -- a high-fat diet, sedentary lifestyle and excellent health -- is now available.
Not so fast, says Rafael De Cabo of the National Institute on Aging, one of the principal investigators in the study published three weeks ago in the journal Science.
Until current studies are completed to find out whether resveratrol actually works for people as well as mice, "it would be pointless to start taking resveratrol," De Cabo says. The good news is that those studies have begun and should be published in a year or so.
Leonard Guarente, a professor of biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an expert on aging, predicts resveratrol will be a "revolution."
"It's going to be a whole new way of treating diseases," Guarente says. But he says it's premature for consumers to think they'll be able to "run out and buy a supplement that's going to work."
De Cabo says the concern about resveratrol supplements now on the market is that "some of them are not pure, and the form that we see that's active is a very highly pure form. Most of them that we've tested aren't that pure."
Resveratrol is in a family of compounds called polyphenols. It's found in grapes, berries, peanuts, green teas and some nuts.
It's probably one ingredient in what scientists call "The French Paradox." That's the intriguing fact that although the French eat a high-fat diet, they have relatively low rates of heart disease.
