Resveratrol, the compound found in red wine has been touted as the first true antiaging drug.  Early clinical reports show that it may have a role in decreasing insulin levels and blood pressure, increasing good cholesterol and extending lifespans.  But the same report points out that the jury's still out on its long term effects and it has not been approved by the FDA.  The supplement is on the market and many people are taking it, even without FDA approval.   Although resveratrol can be obtained in capsule form, taking these supplements may not have the same effect as drinking red wine.Thus, it appears that until researchers are able to isolate an active form of resveratrol, drinking red wine may be the best way to obtain the benefits of resveratrol. The alcohol in the wine removes, or extracts, resveratrol from grapes better than water, glycerin or stomach acids can. So, to date, resveratrol from red wine is the most potent source. It also seems that wines made from organic [0] grapes have more resveratrol than non-organic.  Can we drink ourselves healthy?
