Walt mentioned this is his comment on the last entry, so here's more on resveratrol.
Cheers to red wine, this time for cancer
Seema Singh
Time, once again, to celebrate that wonder molecule in red wine called resveratrol. New research in today's issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention shows that moderate consumption of red wine may decrease the risk of lung cancer in men, particularly among smokers.
Lead author Chun Chao analyzed data collected through the California Men's Health Study from 84,170 men aged 45 to 69 years. Researchers measured the effect of beer, red wine, white wine and liquor consumption on the risk of lung cancer.
After making adjustments for age, race/ethnicity, education, income, body mass index, history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or emphysema, and smoking history, researchers reported a 60 % reduced lung cancer risk in these men.
