Abstract:
Bob Dalton of Forsyth County discovered that his crop of muscadine grapes contained high levels of healthful antioxidants and polyphenols, which repel natural disease and insects. Further research on his grapes specifically showed that they contained antioxidants that inhibit the growth of some cancer cell types. Dalton started a new company called Muscadine Naturals and sells his muscadine grapes in the form of a powder health supplement.
