Nutritional Awareness: Discover Resversatrol

The caloric restriction effect of resveratrol (3,
5,4’-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) is significant. If you are not drinking wine
for the resveratrol and anthocyanins, then drink a berry fruit juice, such as
white or green tea and blueberry, which can be found combined in some
juice products. Green tea with epigallocathingallate (EGCG) is high in
lignans but low in isoflavonoids, which are polyphenols. Both resveratrol
and allocatechin-gallate, a major antioxidative green tea polyphenol, exert
striking inhibitory effects on diverse cellular events associated with cancer of
the prostate (Sartor, 2004; Stewart, 2003).
