You can now get the health benefits of red wine even if you don't drink alcohol. The company ResVez just announced the launch of their new nutrition bar with resveratrol, a compound found in the skin of red grapes that makes red wine a healthy drink. Resveratrol has become a popular supplement after animal studies show that it prolonged life and has anti-cancer properties. It's thought to account for the "French paradox" - the observation that the French have a low rate of heart disease despite eating a high fat diet. One way to get the benefits of resveratrol is to sip on red wine; but drinking wine has its drawbacks including an increased risk of breast cancer in women. Now, you can get some of the benefits of red wine by eating a nutrition bar.
