National Institute of Aging Studies Resveratrol

By: Denise Richards A natural by product of red wine has been discovered to increase life expectancy. It is called Resveratol, and comes from the skin of red grapes. It may now be possible to age gracefully. And all without the reliance on harsh chemical treatments or surgery. The French have enjoyed the fruits of resveratrol for decades, by enjoying the company of red wine.

Now pharmaceutical giants are rushing resveratrol supplements into production with great speed. The studies so far on resveratrol have been limited to flies, mice and worms. The studies revealed that flies live 30% longer, and fish and worms by 60%.

Working on the National Institute of Aging's Harvard Medical School research, was Dr Rafael de Cabo. He said that the diet the mice where on consisted of dense calories and saturated fats. The resveratrol compound protected the mice from any dangerous side effects.

Resveratrol has also been strongly linked to treating cancer and diabetes. Much more research will have to be conducted, but this could be the breakthrough medical science has been looking for in the fight against cancer, diabetes and aging.

When you look at the research in more detail, reservatrol may actually treat a common burden to society. All the mice in the study where fed highly saturated fats. In essence they were obese. It did not damage their life expectancy at all.

A University of Rochester research study concluded that resveratrol can stop pancreatic cancer cells from reaching and destroying vital energy stores in the body. By cutting of their route, the cancerous cells in turn cannot spread.

Most supplements on the market are promoted with hype. Resveratrol on the other hand was discovered by accident. The French it seems have been unknowingly increasing their life span for years, albeit by consuming red wine. Even though they consume a diet high in saturated fat, their mortality from heart disease is lower than that of the USA's.

At least this will not involve any suspect medical practices, as resveratrol is a natural product. No genetic engineering or remaps are needed in any experiments. The research findings have been promising to date, and more information is being gathered daily. The future is certainly bright for resveratrol.
