The Myth of Resveratrol

Resveratrol, a polyphenol antioxidant found in the skin of grapes, cocoa powder, dark chocolate, peanuts, and some berries has been hailed as the possible agent responsible for the benefits of red wine. However, research found it did not correlate with longevity or lower risk of cardiovascular disease or cancer. In fact, adjusted hazard ratios favored those with the lowest intakes, and there were no significant findings for all measured biomarkers.
