Hi everyone,

I couldn't find a thread on this... so I thought I'd make it. As you might know, a while back researchers showed that alcohol seems to boost the antioxidant power of fruit by 1/3rd.

Here's a news reference:

Now why wouldn't resveratrol also be "boosted" by alcohol? This would explain why the "french paradox" exists even though there are relatively low levels of resveratrol in their diet. It may also mean that David Sinclar is wrong when he says you'd have to have something like 200 glasses of wine to have the effect of their new (to be released, we hope) resveratrol pill

Thoughts/suggestions?

cheers
