Scientists from Scotland and Singapore have unraveled a mystery that has perplexed scientists since red wine was first discovered to have health benefits: how does resveratrol control inflammation? New research published in the August 2009 print issue of The FASEB Journal, not only explains resveratrol's one-two punch on inflammation, but also show how it - or a derivative -can be used to treat potentially deadly inflammatory disease, such as appendicitis, peritonitis, and systemic sepsis.

Bourbon, that’s the ticket. It’ll keep you feeling great until you’re a hundred. Here’s to Old Granddad.

According to my recent, informal research, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Pinot Noir have the most resveratrol. Pinot Noir was mentioned most frequently. In general, the darker the red the better. It’s the prolonged contact with the grape skins that increase resveratrol content.

Of course, reading it on the web or in a book doesn’t mean it’s true...
