Clinical trials are currently being conducted on an ingredient in red wine called resvertrol to see if it will slow the aging process. Past studies conducted have shown that a reduction of caloric intake by 30% can increase life expectancy by 30-40% in mice. The gene that prolongs life in mice called sir-2 is equivalent to the human gene called sirt. This gene produces sirtuins which can help to improve longevity. Resveratrol found in the seed and skin of grapes can activate sirtuin, which can in turn possibly help to increase the duration of life.
For decades scientists have studied the lifestyles of people living in the wine producing regions of France. The French have a remarkably low risk of both heart disease and cancer, in spite of excessive smoking, drinking and high fat dietary habits.
In 1992, researchers isolated a unique bioflavoniod called resveratrol, the secret agent responsible for the French Paradox and the health enhancing benefits of red grapes.
Studies conducted at the University of Illinois demonstrate the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory effects of resveratrol and its ability to inhibit all three phases of the cancer process: initian, promotion and progression.
