22 pages, but I'm only interested in saponins. While you can just as easily get resveratrol from grape juice, what is the fun in that? So those excessive alcohol delivery systems of red wine from Oregon and California producers actually do some good. This doesn't mean you can drink red wine to excess as a healthy tonic, although this Spanish gentleman did:
But your doctor will use this to tell you no alcohol:
How did listening to your doctor get you anywhere close to 100% recovery? But since I'm not medically trained, whatever I say has no validity. But I'm using this: Smarter People Tend To Drink More Alcohol.
Further phytonutrient in grape with health benefits are
saponins which reduce blood cholesterol by binding its molecules and preventing their absorption,
as well as reducing inflammation and cancer-protecting effect. Scientists from the University of California found that alcohol improve the bioavailability of saponins that means making them more easily absorbed in wine. The content of saponins in red wines is 3 to 10 times higher than the amount of saponins contained in white wines. Besides there is a positive association between the alcohol concentration and saponin concentration; that means stronger wines having more saponins.
The highest content of saponins was found in red Zinfandel (16% alcohol) followed by Syrah, Pinot noir and Cabernet Sauvignon. White varieties like Sauvignon blanc and Chardonnay contain much less saponins. Furthermore Grape berries contain Pterostilbene with antioxidant activity which has also positive effects against cancer and cholesterol.
