Abstract:
A research study comparing diets of French and Americans revealed that the French had less heart disease than Americans. Wine, especially red wine containing resveratrol, was singled out as one of the most powerful antioxidants in combating heart disease. In 1999, a sample of muscadine wine from Dennis Vineyards was sent to Cornell University for testing. Cornell researchers discovered the wine had the fourth highest levels of the antioxidant resveratrol that they had ever tested.
