Red wine alone may not be the elixir of life, finds new study

(Zeesnews) - Previous scientific research on resveratrol, a constituent of red wine and other vegetable products, has revealed that in high doses, it may increase longevity of life and reduce metabolic diseases of aging.
But, a new study in mice has argued that crediting only resveratrol for a specific effect on health could be misleading.
More than two decades ago, particularly through publicity related to the so-called “French Paradox,” the public became aware of the potential reduction in the risk of coronary heart disease from the moderate consumption of red wine, and the media focused on a single constituent in red wine, resveratrol, as being the “key” factor.
