Have you ever heard of the French Paradox? It was first used by Dr. Serge Renaud to describe how lucky the French people were to eat such delicious, fatty foods without having a high incidence of heart attacks and heart related problems.
In 1991, the CBS television magazine 60 Minutes featured a segment on the French Paradox. The program described the French Paradox and stated that the French were able to sustain their diet because of their consumption of red wines. The show concluded that the consumption of red wine decreases the likelihood of heart disease.
You can only imagine what happened next. The consumption of red wine increased by over 44% as many people around the world sought to consume the magic elixir. But does red wine itself help reduce heart disease or was it what was actually IN the red wine that provided the benefits that was attributed to the French Paradox.
Resveratrol, which is found in the skin of red grapes is mainly responsible for the benefits of drinking red wine. Since 60 Minutes did their report back in 1991, Resveratrol has been attributed to curing or preventing a host of ailments including heart disease and even cancer.

As Resveratrol is not a drug. It is completely natural. It is a nutritional supplement. We hear so many people asking is Resveratrol for real. Can something from the skin of red grapes be so effective in treating and preventing major ailments like heart disease? The simple answer seems to be yes.
Now you must understand that Resveratrol isn't something that fits all. It seems that Resveratrol can't really work its wonders on heart ailments not associated with dietary problems. UPENN researcher, Dr. Paul Rosin admonishes those who take Resveratrol for the wrong reasons. He said that causes of heart disease outside of the type of diet one has probably will not be helped by Resveratrol use.
It should be pointed out that heart disease can be caused by a multitude of factors not related to diet and research on the effects of Resveratrol on those other factors is continuing.
Dr. Christoph Westphal, who was featured in the 60 Minutes segment, thinks that if the data on Resveratrol continues to underscore the many benefits of Resveratrol then he believes that we all may soon be taking Resveratrol.
"If the promise holds true, I think this (Resveratrol) has the chance to change health care."
Resveratrol is becoming hugely popular and there are many derivations of it. Our research has determined that res-V may be the most effective form of Resveratrol. Please check out my review of the Res-V supplement on the ConsumerSource website.
